MATH 1007 (0.5) & STAT 2507 (0.5)
💡Expert's Take
Math AI HL with a 5 or better may be awarded 1.0 credit at Carleton: MATH 1007 (Elementary Calculus I) plus STAT 2507 (Introduction to Statistical Modeling I), at the discretion of the appropriate faculty and counted against the 3.0-credit IB maximum.
The AI award maps to Carleton's general calculus and intro-stats pair rather than to the Engineering calculus stream. MATH 1004 (Calculus for Engineering or Physics) is restricted to Faculty of Engineering students and certain specified B.Sc./B.A.S. programs; MATH 1007 is the catalogue's general first-year calculus course and is the published entry into MATH 2007 (Elementary Calculus II), whose prerequisite accepts a grade of C- or higher in MATH 1007.
What to watch for:
- MATH 1007 precludes MATH 1004, MATH 1052, MATH 1401/ECON 1401, MATH 1402/ECON 1402, and BIT 1000/1100/1200, so Engineering applicants (who need MATH 1004) and Economics applicants (who need ECON 1401/1402) cannot double-count the calculus half.
- STAT 2507 precludes additional credit for ECON 2210, STAT 2601, DATA 1517, and several other intro-stats courses; that is a no-double-counting rule rather than a guarantee that STAT 2507 will substitute for a specifically required course, which is a program-by-program advising question.
- The award is "subject to the discretion of the appropriate faculty" and capped at 3.0 IB credits total, so students with multiple strong HL results may not bank every eligible credit.
- SL Math AI is not listed on the Carleton IB table; SL results carry no transfer credit here.
Program-by-program reality: B.C.S. Honours and its streams list MATH 1007 and STAT 2507 as required, and B.D.S. Honours lists MATH 1007, MATH 2007, and STAT 2507 directly, so the AI award is a clean direct match in those degrees. B.Math Honours students should verify placement against the proof-based MATH 1052/1152, MATH 2052/2152, MATH 2000 sequence, which is the published core rather than MATH 1007 or MATH 1004. B.Com. students can use MATH 1007 in lieu of MATH 1009 under the Sprott advanced-standing note, but STAT 2507 is not shown as a clean substitute for the B.Com-restricted STAT 2601. B.Econ. students face ECON 1401/1402 and ECON 2210 preclusions against MATH 1007 and STAT 2507, so both halves need program-advising review rather than a clean application.
