What is the Math requirement?
For most of you, MATH 125, 126, 127 and/or 128 will be suitable. If you’ve enjoyed and thrived in high school math (grades of 80% or better), we encourage you to consider taking courses alongside the Honours Math students: MATH 135, 136, 137 and/or 138. If you want to add one of the MATH 13X courses to your timetable, you will need to call the Math Undergraduate Office at extension 33905, or email mathuo@uwaterloo.ca. You might say something like: “Hi, I’m Susan Studies-Hard, a student in the Knowledge Integration plan. I would like to take MATH 137 this fall. I have the pre-requisite high school math course (you do, right?), I got at least 80% in it (you did, right?) and I understand you can grant me permission to take the course. My student number is 23456789. Thank you so much for your help.” There are also advanced math classes designed for truly outstanding and enthusiastic math students.
Beginning with the freshman class that matriculated Fall 1995, students, including transfers, will meet the math requirement either with a designated math placement test score or by completing MTH 103 and 114; MTH 106, 110, 112, 116, 120, 124, 132, 152H, or 201; or STT 200 or 201. (Arts and Letters majors often prefer MTH 110 or STT 200 to other courses.) Only freshmen entering MSU in 1993–94 or earlier may meet the math requirement through high school courses. Credits in MTH 1825 are included in the computation of grade point average and in the total number of credits earned, but the credits are NOT included in the total minimum credits required for graduation. Therefore, students who complete this three-credit remedial course will need to earn a minimum of 123 credits for graduation.
