A complete first year program with:

Principal Courses

Physics 020

Calculus 050a/b plus 051a/b, or Applied Mathematics 026.

Computer Science 025a/b or 026a/b, and 027a/b

Students will take one year of courses mainly in Physics and Applied Mathematics, called Group A, and one year of courses mainly offered by the Computer Science Department, called Group B. Students may take either the courses in Group A in year two and the courses in Group B in year three, or vice versa. The choice will restrict slightly the courses available in year four. Timetable constraints make it difficult to mix the courses in Groups A and B in years two and three.

Courses in Group A

Physics 200, 259E

Applied Mathematics 261b

Calculus 250a, 251b

Differential Equations 215a

Linear Algebra 040a/b plus one half-course option or, if Linear Algebra 040a/b has been taken previously, one full course or equivalent option.

Physics 279y or Physics 379y (Non-credit)

Courses in Group B

Four full-course equivalents from the following four and one-half courses:

Computer Science 208a/b, 209a/b, 210a/b, 211a/b, 212a/b/y

Mathematics 222a

Mathematics 223b or a half-course in Computer Science at the 300-level.

Physics 279y or Physics 379y (Non-credit)

Note: The former Computer Science 201 and an additional subsidiary half course may be substituted for Computer Science 210a/b, 211a/b, 212a/b/y
