Sample classes
Our classes teach you how to problem solve. We offer a well-rounded set of classes that will be of use to any student, whether they major in mathematics, economics, oceanography or physics.
“The good thing about our department is that people here have quite a good reputation for teaching. A lot of faculty have got awards for teaching.” says Alan Coley, a university research professor of mathermatics.
Another big advantage at Dalhousie is the small size of our program. Some first year classes can be large, but our fast-track first year calculus class has only 30 students on average and our upper-level classes are quite small.
"You get a lot of personal attention. There’s a lot of project work. Basically, we try to educate the students so they can solve problems on their own," says Jeannette Janssen.
