Mathematics and Statistics

This year’s dates for the BC Secondary Schools Math Contest will be as follows:

• Preliminary Round: Wednesday March 31, 2010
• Final Round: Friday May 7, 2010

The spring schedule for help in the Math&Stats Activity Centre (Room C209 above the bookstore) is now effective.

Registration is now closed for all Math and Stats courses this term.

Most of our courses are now full, but if space does become available, then last minute course additions will be possible up to the end of the first week of classes.

As usual, registration enquiries can be directed to our information line at 604-323-5583 or by email to math.stat.info@langara.bc.ca, and as of Jan 4, in-person registration advising will be available from Ms McKeeman in B154f (see schedule on door for available times), or at the MDT session on Jan 5 (from 9am to noon in room A218).

Registration for the Spring term began on Monday Nov 23.

If you lack the formal prerequisites for a course, or if they are more than three years old, then you will need to take the Math Diagnostic Test, and if you have not already done that at the November 13 session, then you may have to wait to register in your math course until after the next MDT session on Dec 4.

For those wanting to try a course for the third time, except in cases with a medical explanation approved by the Registrar’s Office, we will not be considering requests to override the repeat limit before December 7 so that in the meantime available seats can be reserved for those who have not already had two tries.

If you run into other problems or just need advice regarding mathematics and/or statistics courses, please contact our help line by email at math.stat.info@langara.bc.ca or by phone at 604 323 5583, (and in either case, including your student number in your message will help us to serve you better). Or, if you need in-person advice, after Nov 30, that will be available in B154e as follows:

Thursday Dec 3 from 4:30-5:30pm
Friday Dec 4 from 9am to noon (may be redirected to room A130)
Mon Dec 7 from 10am to noon
Wed Dec 9 from 4:30-5:30pm
Mon Dec 14 from 1-3pm
Thurs Dec 17 from 3-5pm
Fri Dec 18 from 1-2pm

The registrar has asked us to remind all students that the last day to withdraw from a regular semester (September to December) course is this Friday, October 30.

It’s happening this week
    - on Wednesday Oct 21 at 1230 in room A362.




Survivor Langara 2009

As of Oct 15, while Ms McKeeman is on vacation, all registration enquiries will be handled by the department chair, Alan Cooper.

For in-person advising (if email to math.stat.info@langara.bc.ca or telephone to 604-323-5583 do not suffice) up to Nov 30 he will be in office B154e (next door to Cheryl) from 11am to noon on Mondays and 4:30-5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
