Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes and relationships through the use of deductive reasoning, and includes both the elegance of pure theory and the application of this theory to all human endeavours.
As a mathematics student, you will study topics from the fields of algebra, analysis, geometry and applied mathematics. You'll be rewarded for you hard work with sophisticated analytical tools, a highly developed ability in precise critical thinking, and a general knowledge of the main streams of mathematical thought and their applications to various disciplines.
Mathematics is frequently regarded as a very difficult discipline but instead of a sink-or-swim approach, MacEwan has taken extra steps to ensure students have the tools to succeed in university math. The Math Help Centre provides additional help on a drop-in basis to students encountering problems in their mathematics or statistics classes. Instructors from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics staff the centre, outside of class time, for 20 to 30 hours per week, Monday to Saturday. The Math Help Centre is located in room 5-234. The schedule is available from the department office.
The course list identifies approved courses that MacEwan may offer. Not all courses will be offered every year and some courses are restricted to particular programs. Contact an advisor in your program for information on course availability.
Students should contact the Department of Mathematics and Statistics for details regarding current offerings.
Successful completion of the Math 113 gateway exam can be used as a prerequisite for MATH 113. The exam covers material from high school, with special emphasize on algebra, trigonometry, and functions. The test is 90 minutes long with 20 multiple choice questions. A passing grade is 12/20 correct. Calculators are not permitted.
Successful completion of the Math 160 gateway exam can be used as a prerequisite for MATH 160. The exam covers a broad range of topics from elementary and high school mathematics, from fractions and integers, through algebra and trigonometry, to graphing and functions. The test is 60 minutes long with 43 multiple choice questions. A passing grade is 30/43 correct. Calculators are not permitted.
Gateway exams are offered at the start of each new semester, from approximately one week before the term starts, through the first week of classes. All exams take place at City Centre Campus. You must register at least 1 day before the date you wish to write the exam. You will also need to bring picture ID
