Mathematics is the science of numbers, quantity and space. The aim of University Preparatory Math for Professional Programs (non-credit) is to provide a student-oriented math course for learning or reviewing mathematical concepts and skills that are necessary for success in a variety of professional programs (e.g. Nursing, Nutrition, Human Kinetics or Business Administration).
(Spring CRN 14567/Lab 14568) This course will give an introduction to some of the quantitative methods used in the fields of business. A presentation of mathematics applicable to business, including functions, modelling, finance, regression, forecasting, simulations and linear porgramming. Use of spreadsheets will be a fundamental part of this course. Acceptibel for credit in all programs. May only be used as an open or an approved elective in mathematics or computer science programs. Credit will be granted for only one of MATH 105 and MATH 205. Three credits.
(Spring CRN 14569/Lab 14570) An introduction to differential calculus of a single variable with applications to the physical, life, and social sciences. Topics include limits; differentiation of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; inverse functions and their derivatives; implicit differentiation; curve sketching and applied max-min problems. The format of MATH 106 has been structured to provide students with additional learning resources to support and foster a conducive learning environment. Credit will be granted for one of MATH 106 or ENGR 121 or MATH 126. Six credits of calculus is required in the BSc Major, Advanced Major, or Honors program. Three credits.
(CRN 23019/Lab 23020) An introduction to integral calculus for functions of one variable. Topics include definite and indefinite integrals; the fundamental theorem of calculus, methods of integration; numerical approximation of definite integrals; applications to area and volume; probability density functions and distributions; differential equations; and Taylor polynomials. The format of MATH 107 has been structured to provide students with additional learning resources to support and foster a conducive learning environment. Credit will be granted for one of MATH 107 or ENGR 122 or MATH 127. Six credits of calculus is required in the BSc Major, Advanced Major, or Honors program. Three credits.
In collaboration with Digital Nova Scotia, we have developed a microcredential program that focusses on the practical utilization of AI in marketing and communications, project management, manufacturing, and IT, programming, and development.
