Theoretical Physics is concerned with the construction of models to explain the physical universe and the use of these models to make quantitative predictions about the world. As mathematics is the main tool used by physicists, students undertaking this major should consider additional courses, or a major, in mathematics. Students undertaking a double major in Physics/Theoretical Physics may count the courses PHYS1101 and PHYS1201 for both majors.
Requirements
This major will consist of a minimum of 42 units of courses offered by the Department of Physics consisting of:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Any other 6 units from Group C Physics courses
First Year course advice
Students must take PHYS1101, PHYS1201, MATH1013/1115 and MATH1014/1116.
