Recommendations
It is highly recommended that students take Philosophy 279 or 377 to complement Mathematics 271. Students should consult with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis throughout their program. It is recommended that students include an international component in their program. Consult the Undergraduate Director for details. |

Concentrations
Students may focus their program on an area of interest by including a specified set of courses into their Major or Honours degree. Successful completion will mean that the Concentration in Cryptography 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. Concentration in Cryptography For Major with Concentration 8.5 FCE - Same as the Major program above, up to and including one of Mathematics, 421, 423, Pure Mathematics 421 or 521 0.5 FCE - Computer Science 329 0.5 FCE - Pure Mathematics 418 or Computer Science 418. For Pure Mathematics majors, Pure Mathematics 418 is recommended over Computer Science 418 for this concentration. 0.5 FCE - Pure Mathematics 429 2.0 FCE – Chosen from (a) or (b): (a) 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); (b) Pure Mathematics 427 and three of: Pure Mathematics 419, Pure Mathematics 511, Pure Mathematics 527, Pure Mathematics 529 or Computer Science 530 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 1.0 FCE must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 4.0 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 Mathematics 423 or Pure Mathematics 521 0.5 FCE – Computer Science 329 0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 418 or Computer Science 418. For Pure Mathematics majors, Pure Mathematics 418 is recommended over Computer Science 418 for this concentration. 0.5 FCE – Pure Mathematics 429 1.0 FCE – Two of: Pure Mathematics 511 or 527 or 529 or Computer Science 530 1.0 FCE – Two of: Applied Mathematics 311 or Statistics 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. |
