The primary objective of  the " polytechnic " minors organized by the Faculté des Sciences Appliquées is to allow students taking a baccalaureate in engineering science, if they so wish, to acquire, through a polytechnic major/minor, basic training in two specialist areas of engineering science, and thus to broaden their technical range of skills, or prepare for a master's in engineering science in a domain which spans the various basic courses offered at baccalaureate level.  

The disciplinary objectives of the minor in applied mathematics are to allow the student to acquire training in the basic concepts of the discipline, and, more specifically, to:

• Acquire basic skills in and knowledge of the fundamental disciplines in applied mathematics (optimization and operational research, algorithm and discrete mathematics, differential equations and dynamic systems, numerical analysis, statistics and probability)  
• Gain an introduction into how mathematical models for engineering are designed, analyzed implemented in industry and organizations as well as drawing up effective strategies to improve the way such models work

This polytechnic minor is intended chiefly for students enrolled on the baccalaureate in engineering science (civil engineer and civil engineer architect). 

The minor in applied mathematics is accessible to students who are enrolled on a baccalaureate in mathematical science, physical science or IT science.

All of the minor courses are accessible provided the student undertakes basic training in mathematics, the content of which is equivalent to that of mathematics courses over the three first quadrimesters of the baccalaureate civil engineer. For the course INMA1731, basic training in probability and statistics is also required

Majors-minors leading directly to a master's course(s) :

For students who have performed well and obtained a bachelor's qualification in engineering science - civil engineering, the polytechnic minors guarantee them, as part of a program which includes one of these minors, unconditional access, without additional training, to the civil engineering master's which corresponds to this minor.

• For the minor in applied chemistry and physics: the civil engineering master's in chemistry and material science and the civil engineering master's physicist  
• For the minor in construction : the civil engineering master's in construction
• For the minor in electricity: the civil engineering master's electrician  
• For the minor in IT: the civil engineering master's in IT 
• For the minor in mechanics: the civil engineering master's mechanic 
• For the minor in applied mathematics: the civil engineering master's in applied mathematics 
• For a program which combines the major in electricity/minor in mechanics, or major in mechanics/minor in electricity: the civil engineering master's electromechanic.

Enrollment details

Access for non-EPL students to the minor in applied mathematics will be examined by the INMA qualifications committee, on the basis of an application pack sent by the candidate. The pack will include a list of the credits obtained from previous courses, as well as an application letter. This procedure does not apply to students who are taking baccalaureates in mathematical or physical science, organized by the Faculté des Sciences.
