SC/MATH 1025 3.0 (3 credits)
💡Expert's Take
A defensible named equivalency, earned through AI HL's HL-only content. York awards IB Math AI HL as SC/MATH 1025 Applied Linear Algebra because AI HL's Higher Level extensions (matrices, determinants, solving Ax = b, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, vectors in 2D and 3D) line up directly with MATH 1025's spine. The SL bulk of AI focuses on statistics, financial math, and applied modelling, so the match is to the HL tier rather than to the whole course.
The same design shows up across York's IB Exemptions and Credits table: AA HL (calculus-heavy HL extensions) is routed to SC/MATH 1013, while AI HL is routed to SC/MATH 1025 because its HL-only content is matrix and eigenvector work. York also notes the table is a guide and that "missing courses does not necessarily indicate transfer credit will not be granted," so an IB Math AI SL score is assessed case-by-case rather than ruled out in advance. The SC/ prefix denotes the Faculty of Science, so how the credit applies to major, minor, or general-education slots depends on the destination program.
What to watch for:
- MATH 1025 carries course credit exclusions against SC/MATH 1021, SC/MATH 2221, and GL/MATH/MODR 2650. Per the Registrar, "if your degree requirements specify that one course of the pair is required to fulfill a program requirement, you cannot... use the other course to fulfill degree requirements." If a program specifically requires SC/MATH 1021 Linear Algebra I, the MATH 1025 transfer credit will not satisfy that requirement; verify program requirements before relying on the credit.
- The Registration and Enrolment Module will not block enrolment in an excluded course, so the obligation to match course selections to degree requirements sits with the student.
For Honours Math, Statistics, or Applied Math plans, confirm with a departmental advisor before the credit is locked in. York does not publish a standalone decline-credit form; under the Eligibility for Transfer Credit rule, "if a student is granted a course exclusion and chooses to repeat the exclusion while at York, transfer credit granted will be forfeited." Taking SC/MATH 1021 at York therefore triggers forfeiture of the MATH 1025 credit rather than an opt-out at registration.
