So by that logic, every student who has ever taken a Math course in a university contributes to the size of that university's Math "faculty?"
Is that your definition of a faculty?
The fact is that a faculty is much more than a set of courses, it is an independent body that has a great deal of autonomy over the programs that it offers and the courses that it designs.
What makes the Faculty of Mathematics at Waterloo distinct is that it has a large number of students enrolled who have a very strong Math background, stronger than any Science student who has taken some calculus and algebra courses could ever have.
