Note: This course is offered as STAT 270 and MATH 270. Students may only take one of these for credit. Note: As a general rule, students with Mathematics 11 are prepared to take STAT 104, those with Mathematics 12 are prepared to take STAT 106, and those with a full year of calculus are prepared to take STAT/MATH 270. Before registering, students should check the requirements of their program. The Mathematics major program requires STAT/MATH 270, while the Mathematics minor program requires STAT 106 or STAT/MATH 270. -- Prerequisite -- One of the following: MATH 112, MATH 118, or a B or better in MATH 141. -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- None.
