All of the possible plans for Applied Mathematics require some courses taken within the Math Faculty but outside of our department. Based on consultations with the various Undergraduate Officers we have prepared a list of suggested courses.
The two introductory courses MATH 239 and C&O 250 introduce combinatorics and optimization, respectively. Near the end of these courses professors will offer suggestions for further study. For students interested in a more challenging versions of these courses, the advanced sections, MATH 249 and C&O 255 are a possibility. Students should speak to the instructor to see if this is a suitable avenue for them to pursue.
After the mandatory second year courses in probability (STATS 230) and statistics (STATS 231) students are encouraged to consider one or more of the third year courses:
The Honours stream of Pure Mathematics courses follows the Advanced Courses taken as part of the Math faculty core. Students should discuss taking these courses with their Applied Mathematics academic advisor and the Pure Mathematics academic advisor. Popular third year elective courses in Pure Mathematics include:
Computer Scince (CS) offers a variety of courses for Math students after the core CS (either CS 116 or CS 136). The "non-major" courses requiring only the Math core and available to Applied Math students are:
Students who took CS 136 for their core CS may also choose either or both of:
In either case, students may continue with more advanced "non-major"
CS courses:
Some "major" CS courses are also open to Applied Math students; these include:
(*= require AMATH242/CS371 first).

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
