Prerequisites: i) a pre-university calculus course with a grade of 65 percent or better; and ii) Ontario Grade 12 Mathematics: Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, or an OAC in Algebra and Geometry, or
MATH 0107, or permission of the School. (See prerequisites for first-year calculus courses and for first-year algebra courses at the beginning of this section.)
Lectures three hours a week and one hour tutorial.
Note: Although the main prerequisite for is a grade of 65 percent or better in a pre-university calculus course, past experience indicates that students with less than 75 percent in their prerequisite calculus have only a small chance of success in.
