Graduate courses

Graduate course offerings in the Applied Mathematics department are classified as follows: 

  • 600-Series: Students entering our graduate program are sometimes missing key background material. The 600-series bridging courses are designed to fill such gaps. These courses are held with corresponding 400-level undergraduate courses; the graduate students take on additional work to engage with the material at an advanced level. These courses are normally offered every year. 
  • 700-Series: These courses present mathematical concepts and methods that are used in many areas in modern applied mathematics. These courses are normally offered every year.
  • 800-Series: These courses are of an advanced nature and are directly related to research activity in the department. A selection of these courses is offered each year.
  • 900-Series: These are specialized courses; their contents and terms of offering depend on instructor availability and student demand.

MMath (thesis) and PhD students may not count more than 1 graduate course that is cross-listed with an undergraduate course for credit towards their MMath (thesis) or PhD degrees. This restriction applies to all 600-level AMATH courses and any cross-listed courses offered by other departments. MMath (research paper) students are allowed to take at most three of these courses for credit.
