General electives are courses chosen from other Level 1, 2 or 3 courses in the University. Students must not take more than ten Level 1 courses in the program overall. Students without or with limited background in Mathematical Methods are recommended to take MAT1101 Discrete Mathematics for Computing as an elective in the following majors: Animal Science, Biology, Environment and Sustainability, Food Science, Human Physiology, Plant Agricultural Science and Wine Science Majors. CSC1401 Foundation Programming and MAT1101 Discrete Mathematics for Computing are recommended electives for the following majors: Mathematics and Statistics, Computing, and Geospatial Science Major. CSC1401 Foundation Programming, MAT1102 Algebra and Calculus I and MAT2100 Algebra and Calculus II (These courses are co-requisites for required courses PHY1104 Physics 1 and PHY1911 Physics 2) are recommended electives for the following majors: Astronomical and Space Sciences and Physics Major. For students considering post-graduate study in physics or astronomy, the following courses are highly recommended: CSC1401 Foundation Programming, MAT2409 High Performance Numerical Computing, SCI3301 Science Project, MAT3103 Mathematical Modelling and Dynamical Systems, MAT3105 Harmony of Partial Differential Equations. Unsuitable Electives For various reasons, the following course will not be approved as an elective for students majoring in Computing in the Bachelor of Science program: CIS2000 Systems Analysis and Design. Students will require the approval of the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences if they wish to include MAT1000 Mathematics Fundamentals, MAT1100 Foundation Mathematics, ENM1500 Introductory Engineering Mathematics, and MAC2901 Mathematics for Teachers as electives towards the Bachelor of Science program majoring in Mathematics and Statistics.
