A study of games, puzzles and problems focusing on the deeper principles they illustrate. Concentration is on problems arising out of number theory and geometry, with emphasis on the process of mathematical reasoning. Technical requirements are kept to a minimum. A foundation is provided for a continuing lay interest in mathematics. (Offered every three years) JUM105H1

First term of MAT135Y1. Students in academic difficulty in MAT135Y1 who have written two midterm examinations with a mark of at least 20% in the second may withdraw from MAT135Y1 and enrol in MAT125H1 in the Spring Term. These students are informed of this option by the beginning of the Spring Term. Classes begin in the second week of the Spring Term; late enrolment is not permitted. Students not enrolled in MAT135Y1 in the Fall Term will not be allowed to enrol in MAT125H1. MAT125H1 together with MAT126H1 is equivalent for program and prerequisite purposes to MAT135Y1. MAT126H1
Second Term content of MAT135Y1; the final examination includes topics covered in MAT125H1. Offered in the Summer Session only; students not enrolled in MAT125H1 in the preceding Spring Term will NOT be allowed to enrol in MAT126H1. MAT125H1 together with MAT126H1 is equivalent for program and prerequisite purposes to MAT135Y1. MAT136Y1

Develops the concepts of calculus at least at the level of MAT135Y1. May include background material on functions, analytic geometry, and trigonometry, as well as on calculus. Note that this course counts as full-course credit, although it involves double the number of lecture and tutorial hours as MAT135Y1. MAT137Y1
