SC/MATH 1013 3.0 (3 credits)
💡Expert's Take
A 5 or higher in MAA HL is listed against SC/MATH 1013 3.0 (Applied Calculus I) on York's IB transfer credit table, which York describes as "to be used as a guide" and notes that "transfer credit is assessed based on each student's academic program." MATH 1013 is York's applied calculus course; it is not MATH 1300, the theoretical calculus course used by several math-heavy programs.
Per York's Mathematics and Statistics program cores, the Engineering Program Core lists SC/MATH 1013 and SC/MATH 1014, while the Computer Science and Computer Security Program Cores list SC/MATH 1300 and SC/MATH 1310 instead. MATH 1013 also carries course credit exclusions with MATH 1300 and several other first-year calculus courses, so the same student cannot hold credit for both MATH 1013 and MATH 1300.
What to watch for:
- If your program's listed core calculus is MATH 1300 (currently Computer Science and Computer Security at Lassonde, and similar proof-based paths), the MATH 1013 IB credit does not match that specific core course. How the credit is actually applied to your degree will appear on your transfer credit statement and degree progress report; confirm there, or with your program advisor, before assuming it substitutes or must be forfeited.
- Engineering students are typically fine because the IB award matches the Engineering Program Core's MATH 1013 listing directly, not because York publishes any general MATH 1013 equals MATH 1300 rule.
Treat the table as a starting point. If your program lists MATH 1013 as the calculus core (for example, Lassonde Engineering), the IB credit lines up cleanly. If your program lists MATH 1300 (Computer Science, Computer Security, Math majors, and similar), review how the credit lands on your degree progress report before deciding next steps. York's Eligibility for Transfer Credit policy states: "If a student is granted a course exclusion and chooses to repeat the exclusion while at York, transfer credit granted will be forfeited." Confirm the correct calculus course with your program advisor first.
Official award line (Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches HL):
Minimum score: 5 or higher
Credit granted: SC/MATH 1013 3.0 (3 credits)
Scope note: York's IB policy awards credit for "most Higher Level IB courses with grades of 5 or better" up to a maximum of 30 credits, and states the table "is to be used as a guide."
