6 units - Physics 227 and 229 3 units - Mathematics 211 or 213 3 units - Mathematics 265 or 275 or 2491 3 units - Mathematics 277, or Mathematics 2671 3 units - Computer Science 217 or Data Science 211 3 units – Chemistry 201 or 209 or 211 or Biology 241 3 units – Chemistry 203 or 213 or Biology 205 or Computer Science 219 or Astrophysics 305 39 units - Physics 341, 343, 355, 375, 381, 397, 443, 449, 455, 457, 497, 501, and 599 or 598 3 units - 400- or 500-level Physics option 3 units - Mathematics 311 or 313 6 units – Mathematics 367 and 376; or Mathematics 375 and 377 3 units – Physics 435 or Mathematics 433 18 units - Breadth Requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units, at least 6 units must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units from other faculties. 6 units - Science options 18 units - Options 1The recommended sequence for Mathematics courses in Physics and Astronomy is Mathematics 265, 267, 376 and 367. Note: Students can a) have obtained an "A-" or better in Physics 211/221 or b) have completed both Physics 211/221 and Physics 321 in order to satisfy their program requirement of Physics 227. Students who have completed either of these options must visit the Undergraduate Science Centre (SB 149) to have this substitution applied to their student record. |
