2002-2003 Mathematics courses at Trent University
While the Department of Mathematics' web pages are usually more up-to-date,
Trent University's Academic Calendar
is the official source for essential information about Mathematics courses,
as well as degree and major requirements; the Academic Timetable is the
official source for the times and places of class meetings. If you need
to find or confirm any information not given in these documents, please
contact the Department of Mathematics.
Some useful general tips for students -- especially first-year!
-- taking math courses are given in Enjoying
Math!. The pamphlet Formula for Success published by the
Academic
Skills Center has a useful summary of "pre-calculus" mathematics. Students
needing further help with such material should contact the Academic
Skills Center.
