graduate courses
An overview of graduate courses offered by the Department of Mathematics in Burnaby and Surrey.
This is a second course in Computer Algebra where we will see some key algorithms and tools.
Students will use Maple as an algebraic calculator and to implement algorithms.
Students will do a course project where they will read a paper, study and implement an algorithm, do some computational experiments, and use the algorithm to solve polynomial systems of equations arising from graph theory and packing problems.
Prerequisite: MACM 401 or MATH 801 or permission of the instructor.
Visit the SFU Academic Calendar to review details of all MATH/APMA course offerings.
Visit the SFU Course Outline database for archived and current course outlines.
Upcoming Exam Offerings: Spring 2024, Fall 2024, Summer 2025.
The Preliminary & Comprensive Exams are offered every second semester and should generally be completed by your 6th semester in the PhD program. Talk to your supervisor about when you should enroll in MATH 875/876.
MATH 875 - PhD Preliminary Exam
MATH 876 - PhD Comprehensive Exam
In-depth, specialized learning opportunities for graduate students.
Specialized reading courses supplement our regular graduate course offerings, allowing you to go even deeper on a particular topic. Faculty members can offer reading courses on virtually any topic in the world of math鈥攔anging from Historiography of Mathematics to Mathematical Models of Whole Genomes Analysis. These fascinating options change from term to term.
