LAKEHEAD CALENDAR 2011-2012

Lakehead 2011-2012 Academic Courses Undergraduate Courses Mathematics (MATH) Courses
Mathematics (MATH) Courses

Courses not offered this academic year (fall/winter terms) are indicated by the words "NOT OFFERED THIS YEAR" below the course description. Nevertheless, students should refer to the Timetable as a final check.

All course selections are subject to the consent of the department. Prerequisites may be waived if the department so decides.

The lecture and laboratory hours for each course, given beneath the course description for each of the two terms (for example 3-3; 3-0 would indicate 3 lecture hours in each term, 3 lab hours in the first term only), indicate the relative amount of work required. The actual duration of lectures and laboratories is at the discretion of the department.

Notes:
1. Students cannot obtain credit for two courses covering essentially the same material. Some examples are: Mathematics 0210, 0212, 4030; Mathematics 1160 and 1180; Mathematics 2321 and 2331/2333.
2. Courses marked with a * are not acceptable for mathematics credit in any of the programs offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences or the Department of Computer Science.
