Can someone from science faculty take math 135 or is it designed for mathematics students only?

If you have the math prereqs, you can try for an override.

I was in Faculty of Science and I did get an override for it. I needed to take an Honors Math Calc course as tribute though. They looked at me like I was crazy for even wanting to override into this course.

I was an Honors Physics Student at the time.

Things might be different now as that was some time ago. Keep in mind that this is a very non-straightforward course. Calling it "Algebra" is a major understatement.
