fACULTY 01' SCIENCE

Despite our advising efforts, we feel it necessary to direct the students'

150/151

choice via pre-requisites.

MATH 152: MATH 154 pre-requisite increased from C- to B.

MATH 251 : MATH 155 pre-requisite increased from C- to B.

Implications:

Students switching from the BIO-SCI calculus stream will

now need a minimum grade

of B to move onto Calc II or Calc III within the

Pre- Calc III stream.

Background:

For the

2009/2010

calendar year, the BC 12 requirements for

the first-term calculus courses (Calc III stream) were increased MATH

150-4

(to B+) and 151-3 (to A-). This change was precipitated by the removal of

the BC provincial Mathematics Exam as an SFU entry requirement, after

which there was a measureable change (at

SFU

&

UBC) in the correlation

between BC

12 grades and success in MATH 150

&

151. However, there

was no noticeable change in the applied calculus streams (bio-science calc

I,

MATH 154; and business calc I, MATH 157), and so those BC 12 pre-

requisites were left unchanged (at B).

In this past year, we have noticed instances

of students with grades of B in

BC

12, attempting to by-pass their shortfall in the 1501151 science calc pre-

requisites through the applied calculus streams. Furthermore, we have also

heard that some non-science advisors have been suggesting the applied

calculus courses for students at the three-time failure limit in

150/1511152.

We feel that pre-requisite grades ofB in

154/155

for changing calculus

streams should provide adequate discouragement for students trying to game

the system, while maintaining standards that best serve those who are

sincerely changing their major

of study.

Overall comments

When the background system alters (as in the case of recent changes to

curriculum and examination procedures in BC high schools) it often takes a

while for all

of the implications to be sorted out. The adjustments presented

here are minor and the necessity

of them was not anticipated initially due to

the relatively small number

of students implicated.

SIMON HIASJ:1l UNIVEIISITY

THINKING OF THE WORLD

FACULTY 01' SCIENCE

The department recently sent a recommendation to Student Services for a

certain set

of responses to yet another change in high school mathematics.

That recommendation was in part based on the fact that we are able to set

prerequisites in order to ensure that students have some possibility

of passing

courses to which they are initially to be admitted. We therefore count on

SCUS to understand that we are attempting to exercise our best judgement

t

based on how students are doing in the courses.

Sincerely,

Dr. Thomas Archibald

Mathematics Chair

and

Dr. David Murkai

DESCRIPTION

Linear equations, matrices, determinants.

Real and abstract vector spaces,

subspaces and linear transformations;

basis and change of basis. Eigenvalues

and eigenvectors; diagonalisation.

Inner

products and orthogonality; least squares

problems.

Applications. The course has a

more theoretical

emphaSis than MATH

232, including proving true statements

and giving counterexamples.

PRERE UISITE

MATH 150 or 151 or equivalent or MACM

101 or MATH

154/157

with a grade of at

least 8+. Students with credit for MATH

232 cannot take MATH

240 or further

credit. Quantitative.

RATIONAL~

Linear equations, matrices, determinants.

Real and abstract vector spaces, subs paces

and linear transformations; basis and change

of basis. Complex numbers. Eigenvalues

and eigenvectors;

diagonalization. Inner

products and orthogonality; least squares

problems. Applications.

Subject is

presented with an abstract emphasis and

includes proofs of the basic theorems.

MATH

150

or

151;

or MACM

101;

or MATH

154

or 157, both with a grade of at least B.

Students with credit for MATH 232 cannot

take MATH 240 or further credit. Quantitative.

Corrects

omission in description from current standard syllabus.

Clarifies abstract emphaSis, in contrast to the applications-oriented MATH 232.

Removes outdated parenthetical requirement and changes

154/157

phYSics major and honors programs may substitute PHYS 285 for CHEM 260 as a

prerequisite

for CHEM 366W

Other Requirements

Please see -Requirements for Honors and Honors First Class. on page 181.

Rationale: CHEM 366 was recently converted from a 2 unit course to a 3 unit writing intensive course.

The revisions outlined here remove an ambiguity in the total number of additional upper division units

required for completion of the Chemical Physics Majors program and correct other errors. Additionally.

the program presently forces students to choose CHEM 260 over PHYS 285 in order to complete the

prerequisite for CHEM 366W, which is a required COurse. The Chemistry department is satisfied that

PHYS 285 provides suitable prepamtion for CHEM 366W, and has regularly granted waivers. The

proposed change formalizes current pmctice and provides students with more options.

COURSE DESCRIPTION (FOR CALENDAR). 3-4 LINES MAXIMUM. ATTACH A COURSE OUTLINE TO THIS PROPOSAL.

Applies and integrates concepts from hydrological science to assess the various impacts to water

cycles over a range of scales, considering both climate and other environmental stressors. Secondary

impacts

of climate change on water resources (including water for humans and aquatic ecosystems)

are explored, focusing on current issues to generate ideas for potential mitigative and adaptive solutions.

SPECIAL

INSTRUCTIONS

That is. does this coune replicate the content of a previously-appro\'\:d coune to such an extelll that students should not receive credit for both

counes.? If so. this should be noted in the prerequisiite.

COURSES(S) TO BE DELETED IF THIS COURSE IS APPROVED

NOTE: APPROPRIATE DOCUMENT FOR DELETION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO SCUS

RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE

The topics are current and highly relevant to water science and the course will be a popular elective course in

Earth Sciences (and also accessible to Physical Geography and Environmental Science students). In addition,

it is a required course for the proposed "Applications

in Water Science" stream in Environmental Science.
