Minor Programme in Applied Mathematics

Students seeking to pursue the study of a minor programme would need to fulfil 15 units of courses specified by the offering department/programme, with at least one course (3 units) at Level 3 or 4. Note that no registration priority will be given to enrolment in minor courses. Upon completion of the 15 units required for the minor programmes, students should apply to the Academic Registry for approval.

The structure of the curriculum is as follows:

I)	Required Courses	6 units
II)	Elective Courses	3 units
III)	Two from the list of Core or Major Electives of the BSc in Applied & Computational Mathematics	6 units
		───────
		15 units

Requirements

I.	Required Courses			6 units
	Either
	MATH	1005	Calculus	3 units
	Or
	MATH	1006	Advanced Calculus I	3 units
	MATH	2207	Linear Algebra	3 units

II.	Elective Courses			3 units
	One of the following courses:
	MATH	2205	Multivariate Calculus	3 units
	MATH	3206	Numerical Methods I	3 units
	MATH	3405	Ordinary Differential Equations	3 units

III.	Two from the list of Core or Major Electives of the BSc in Applied & Computational Mathematics			6 units
				──────
				15 units

Remark 1:
a)	Students are allowed to take only one of the following three courses: MATH 2005 Probability & Statistics for Computer Science, MATH 2006 Probability & Statistics for Science, MATH 2206 Probability & Statistics.
b)	As the prerequisite of a course, the following three courses are equivalent: MATH 2005 Probability & Statistics for Computer Science, MATH 2006 Probability & Statistics for Science, MATH 2206 Probability & Statistics.

Remark 2:
The credits of core courses of the major programme would not be counted again in the minor programme. Therefore,
a)	For students in the Faculty of Science, the credits of MATH 1005 would not be counted in the minor programme.
b)	For students in the Department of Computer Science, the credits of MATH 1205 would not be counted in the minor programme.
