Undergraduate Studies Committee

Date.
October 9,. 198.0
The Department of Mathematics has approved the course
MATH 144-3, Introduction to Pure Mathematics (3-1-0)
Our current course MATH 141-2, Introduction to Pure Mathematics (2-1-0)
is to be dropped upon final adoption of MATH 144-3.
Originally, Math 141-2 was the first of a sequence of 2-hour courses
intended to be taken concurrently with the calculus sequence. In that
context it made sense, but we no longer have the sequence. Students are
reluctant to enroll in 141-2, since it is now our only 2-hour course.
They often enroll (or decline to enroll, we may hope) in the misguided
belief that the 2-hour designation connotes "easier" rather than "less".
Even if these problems could be overcome, the subject matter of 141-2
has a certain lack of content which students can recognize as "mathematical".
The proposed course 144-3 attempts to remedy this defect by including a logically
sophisticated (by first-year stãndar45) treatment of the system of natural
numbrs.
I hope the proposal can be approved by your Committee.

MATH 362-3,462-3,

Yesterday at a departmental meeting the Mathematics Department approved
the courses
MATH 265-4

(3-2-0)
MATH
362-3
FLUID MECHANICS I
(3-1-0)
MATH
462-3
FLUID MECHANICS
II
(3-0-0)
and we now seek their approval at the faculty curriculum committee level.
These courses will make a valuable addition to our existing applied mathe-
matics option. They will as well be useful within our engineering transfer
program, and should be appropriate courses for students in the proposed SFU
engineering program. MATH 265-4 is a new course, while MATH 362-3 and 462-3
are to replace the existing MATH 469-4 (Fluid Dynamics).
You will note that these courses, if implemented, will require a total
of 6 hours per year (on the average) more faculty lecture and tutorial time
than are required by MATH 469-4 (4-1-0) as it is now offered (once every
two years). The department will be able, on a temporary basis, to meet all
its teaching commitments, including these, since additional teaching hours
are available using the NSERC Fellows we expect to have in our department.
I am sending copies of the course proposals to the other faculties for
their inspection in case of course overlap, and to Dr. T.W. Calvert, Director
of Engineering.
