Our Mathematics began in the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. The Babylonians already knew much of the mathematics taught traditionally in our schools. Their algebra and geometry were phrased in terms of crops and fields and money. Since the Renaissance, much of mathematics has come from problems in physics and astronomy; for example, calculus arose from problems in mechanics. In turn, mathematics has provided the theoretical framework and tools in the Physical Sciences. In the 19th century, some parts of mathematics appeared to develop away from their origins in the physical world. To the great surprise of many scientists and mathematicians, some of the "pure" mathematics has turned out to be essential in many aspects of 20th-century science. Differential geometry provides the language for general relativity and cosmology, and Hilbert space theory and group representations are the tools for quantum mechanics. Similarly, graph theory, combinatorics and number theory play a major role in computer science. 

Note on Admission to MAT programs
Beginning in 2018-19 there are admissions criteria for the Specialist/Specialist (Co-op) and Major/Major (Co-op) Program in Mathematics. Details and information on how to apply for admission to these programs can be found in the program descriptions below.

Combined Degree Programs, Honours Bachelor of Science/ Master of Teaching

The Combined Degree Programs for UTSC Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) /Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) with the Master of Teaching (MT) offered by the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education provide students with a direct pathway to the completion, in 6 years, of their Undergraduate degree, Ontario Teacher’s Certificate of Qualifications, and Master’s degree.​ These Combined Degree Programs allow students to complete 1.0 credit in courses that may be counted towards both degrees.

The Combined Degree Programs options are:

• Mathematics (Specialist), Honours Bachelor of Science/ Master of Teaching
• Mathematics (Specialist Co-op), Honours Bachelor of Science/ Master of Teaching
• Mathematics (Major), Honours Bachelor of Science/ Master of Teaching
• Mathematics (Major Co-op), Honours Bachelor of Science/ Master of Teaching

For more information, including Admission and Program requirements, see the Combined Degree Programs section of the Calendar.

Program Combination Restrictions 

The Specialist/Specialist Co-op and Major/Major Co-op programs in Mathematics cannot be combined.
