5.7.1 Programs in Physics
Courses constituting the field of Physics

All courses labelled Physics except Physics 271, 303 or 371

Astrophysics 609

Required Courses - Major Program

See also Section 3 (Faculty Regulations), Subsections 3.4B (Program Requirements - Major Programs) and 3.5B (Course Selection - Introductory Courses).

1.0 FCE - Physics 227, 255

0.5 FCE - Mathematics 211 or 213

0.5 FCE - Applied Mathematics 217 or Mathematics 249 or 251

0.5 FCE - Applied Mathematics 219

1.0 FCE - Chemistry 201 or 211 and one of Chemistry 203 or 213 or Biology 231 or 233 or Astrophysics 213

0.5 FCE - Computer Science 217

6.5 FCE - Physics 325, 341, 343, 381, 397, 443, 449, 455, 457, 497, 501, 575, and 599 or 598

1.5 FCE - Applied Mathematics 307, 309, 433

4.0 FCE - Breadth requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 4.0 FCE, at least one FCE must be from the Faculty of Arts.

1.0 FCE - Science options

2.0 FCE - Options

Note : Mathematics 281, 283, 381, and a Mathematics/Applied Mathematics/Pure Mathematics or Physics elective at the 300-level or higher can be taken as an alternative to the Applied Mathematics 217, (or Mathematics 249 or 251), Applied Mathematics 219, 307, and 309 calculus course sequence.

Note: Students using only a single chemistry course to fulfill their program requirements may use Chemistry 203 or Chemistry 209 in place of the suggested Chemistry 201 or 211.

Required courses - Honours Program

Same as in Major Program except that Physics 599, 0.5 FCE Physics option and 2.0 FCE Options are replaced by:

1.0 FCE - Physics 598

2.0 FCE - Physics 451, 481, 543, 597

Recommendations

(a) Physics 120 is taught during block week prior to commencement of regular courses in the Winter Term. This type of block course is recommended, but not required. No credit is given for such block courses and no fees are charged.

(b) It is strongly recommended that Applied Mathematics 217 be taken in preference to Mathematics 249 or 251 whenever the option to do so exists.
