Students may focus their program on one of two areas of interest by including a specified set of courses into their Major or Honours degree. Successful completion will mean that the area of concentration will appear on the transcript. Students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. Consultation with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis is highly recommended.
A. Concentration in Cryptography
For Major with Concentration
4.0 FCE - Same as the Major program above, up to and including Mathematics 271 or 273
1.0 FCE - Applied Mathematics 311 and Mathematics 411
0.5 FCE – Computer Science 231 or 217 or 235
0.5 FCE – Computer Science 329
0.5 FCE – Mathematics 323 or Computer Science 233 or Physics 211 or 221
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 315
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 329 or Pure Mathematics 418
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 429
2.0 FCE – Chosen from Pure Mathematics 415 or 423; and three of: Pure Mathematics 419, Pure Mathematics 427, Pure Mathematics 511, Pure Mathematics 527, Pure Mathematics 529 or Computer Science 530 (1.0 FCE must come from the 500 level or above); or chosen from Pure Mathematics 427 and three of: Pure Mathematics 419, Pure Mathematics 511, Pure Mathematics 527, Pure Mathematics 529 or Computer Science 530
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 431
1.0 FCE – Pure Mathematics 435 or 455 and 445 or 545
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 421 or 521
4.0 FCE – Breadth requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 4.0 FCE, at least one FCE must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the four FCE from other faculties.
4.0 FCE – Options
For Honours with Concentration:
6.5 FCE – Same as the Honours program above, up to and including Pure Mathematics 421 or 521
0.5 FCE – Computer Science 329
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 329 or Pure Mathematics 418
0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 429
1.0 FCE – Two of: Pure Mathematics 511 or 527 or 529 or CPSC 530
1.0 FCE – Two of: Applied Mathematics 311 or Mathematics 323, Computer Science 233, 313, 331, Physics 211 or 221 or 227, 223, Philosophy 279 or 377
3.0 FCE – Selected from the major field
1.0 FCE – Selected from any course labeled Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Pure Mathematics or Statistics at the 300-level or above
4.0 FCE – Non-science options, same as Major Concentration program
2.0 FCE – Options
Note: The substitutions allowed for students to enter the Honours program later in their studies also apply to Honours with the Concentration in Cryptography.
