*  Students must include a Secondary Subject in years 1 and 2. This involves taking a course or courses in year 2 that follow on from a course or courses passed in the previous year.  These courses will normally (a) be from the same subject area as the courses previously passed (as listed in the relevant Schedule) (b) not be taken before the second year of study, and (c) may have the course(s) previously passed as prerequisite(s). Selection of Secondary Subjects is subject to the approval of the Head of the School of Mathematics.
† These courses may be freely chosen, but it is desirable to include some Applied Mathematics (Schedule P).
‡ Entry to Honours requires passes at 50% or above in Foundations of Calculus, Linear Algebra, Methods of Applied Mathematics and Several Variable Calculus, or the permission of the Head of the School of Mathematics. With the permission of the Head of the School of Mathematics, entry to Honours may also be granted on the basis of passes at 60% or above in the Non-Specialist level 8 courses (MAT-2-)am3, mm3, am4, mm4, or (MAT-2-)mi3, mi4, or equivalent, and the completion of prescribed summer vacation reading.
‡‡ Detailed information about individual courses, as well as restrictions on their choice, will be available for students entering the programme to facilitate advance planning.
