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.
