Bachelor of Arts in Specialized (Honours) - Applied Mathematics

Applied mathematics is, by its core nature, multidisciplinary. Modern applications of research in the sciences, engineering and social sciences are highly technical, often requiring sophisticated mathematical treatment and algorithm design to advance key problems of interest to industry or policy makers. The applied mathematician provides precisely this kind of multidisciplinary expertise, with an in-depth knowledge of both the application area and the underlying mathematical principles required to tackle difficult problems of practical interest.Degrees Offered:Specialized Honours Major (BA or BSc)Honours Major (BA or BSc)Honours Minor (BA or BSc)Bachelor Program (BA or BSc)Students applying to the program may choose from several areas in which to concentrate their studies including (i) mathematical biology and disease modelling; (ii) industrial mathematics; (iii) numerical analysis and scientific computing; (iv) digital signal processing and inverse problems; (v) financial engineering; and (vi) operations research. A common thread that ties many of these diverse areas of application together is modeling and simulation. Indeed, computational analysis and high performance computing are at the core of many courses offered in Applied Mathematics at York. Students may obtain a degree with specialization in any one of the aforementioned areas, often supplemented by advanced courses in applied subjects from other departments in the sciences, engineering and social sciences.

International Baccalaureate (IB) - IB Diploma with passes in six subjects: three passes at the Standard-level and three passes at the Higher-level, or two passes at the Standard-level and four passes at the Higher-level. Minimum IB Diploma point scores of 30 or higher is recommended (scores of 28 will be considered).Minimum 4 is required in each subject unless otherwise indicated. IB Certificate candidates with six subjects are considered for admission, Transfer credit granted for IB courses with Higher-level final grades of 5 or better, depending on the program (maximum 30 credits). Prerequisites listed correspond to Standard-or Higher-level.General Certificate of Education (GCE) - Minimum of two Advanced-level (A2) passes and three GCSE or IGCSE Ordinary-level (O-level) passes. Minimum average of “C” is required on Advanced-level and Ordinary-level passes. Grades of “E” are not considered. Prerequisite courses (minimum of “C” unless otherwise indicated) must be presented atthe Advanced-level. Transfer credits may be awarded for A level courses completed with a C or better.
