Sessional Instructor - School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences - Faculty of Science - Winter 2027
As per UPEI FA Collective Agreement
January 11, 2027 - February 26, 2027
The School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Prince Edward Island has an opening for sessional instructors during the forthcoming Winter 2027 semester. These positions are subject to final budgetary approval.
Please note: the courses offered below will be taught in person, unless otherwise specified as an online course.
MATH-1920 Single Variable Calculus II
This course is a continuation of integral calculus of functions of a single variable and an introduction to sequences and series. Techniques of integration are studied, including improper integrals and numerical integration, and the tools of integral calculus are used to compute areas, volumes, and arc lengths, and are applied to problems in physics and differential equations. Sequences, series, tests for convergence, Taylor series and Taylor polynomials are studied.
Three lecture hours per week
Section: MATH-1920-03
Time: T, Th 8:30-9:45 AM; W 10:30-11:20 AM
STAT-1910 Introduction to Statistics
This course introduces students to statistical reasoning and data analysis using R. Emphasizing modern computational approaches, students will learn to summarize and visualize data, apply inferential techniques (e.g., confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and ANOVA), and model relationships (e.g., regression). Core statistical concepts, including randomization tests, bootstrapping, and the Central Limit Theorem, will be explored through theoretical and applied perspectives. Designed for students with a strong foundation in Grade 12 mathematics, this course focuses on interpreting results, making data-driven decisions, and preparing for advanced studies in statistics.
Three lecture hours per week
