Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity.
The Kwantlen Mathematics Department offers courses from high school grade 11 level through to fourth year university level, while Qualifying Studies offers preparatory math courses. The Mathematics Department offers a B.A. Minor in Mathematics, an Associate of Science degree, and are developing a Mathematics major. Students can also take courses at Kwantlen and transfer to other institutions.
Courses to Note
- Are you interested in mathematics, but don't want to take a standard algebra or calculus course? Try Mathematical Explorations, MATH 1116
- Interested in geometry? Try Geometry, MATH 3250
- Are you interested in how mathematics was developed since prehistoric times? Try History of Mathematics, MATH 3450
- Have you been out of engineering for a while and want to get back in? You probably need to take Differential Equations, MATH 3421 , which we offer in the Fall term, in the evening.
Why Take Mathematics at Kwantlen?
With 35-student classes, you can expect greater attention from your instructor. Kwantlen also has a Learning Centre, where you can seek help from peer tutors and faculty members, and a Mathematics Assistance Centre specifically for MATH 1112, Precalculus, students.
Problem of the Week
Participate in the Math Problem of the Week, and win Prizes! If you are a Kwantlen student, join the MPOW club under the "Groups" tab on myKwantlen . A new math problem will be e-mailed to you every week during the fall and spring terms.
