PHYSICSPlan 2 - BiophysicsThis plan is recommended <strong>for</strong> students intending to complete a dual major in Biophysics – but allows studentsto continue to a major in physics if desired. Only courses <strong>for</strong> the first year <strong>of</strong> study are given as later yearcourses are dependent on the area <strong>of</strong> specialisation.FIRST YEARSemester 1PHYS1001 Mechanics & Thermal <strong>Physics</strong> IMATH1051* Calculus & Linear Algebra IBIOL1020 Genes, Cells & EvolutionCHEM1020 Chemical Energetics & ReactivitySemester 2PHYS1002 Electromagnetism, Optics, Relativity <strong>and</strong> Quantum <strong>Physics</strong> IMATH1052* Multivariate Calculus & Ordinary Differential EquationsBIOL1040 Cells to OrganismsSTAT1201 Analysis <strong>of</strong> Scientific Data*<strong>Students</strong> who have not achieved a “sound achievement” in Grade 12 <strong>Mathematics</strong> C must complete MATH1050,Mathematical Foundations, in Semester 1 be<strong>for</strong>e attempting MATH1051. <strong>Students</strong> should then enrol in both MATH1051<strong>and</strong> 1052 in Semester 2 or second year.Plan 3 – Computational <strong>Physics</strong>This plan is recommended <strong>for</strong> students intending to complete a dual major in Computational Science with anemphasis on physics – but allows students to continue to a major in physics if desired.FIRST YEARSemester 1PHYS1001 Mechanics & Thermal <strong>Physics</strong> IMATH1051* Calculus & Linear Algebra ISCIE1000 Theory & Practice in ScienceElectives Semester 1ERTH1000 Planet Earth: The Big PictureCHEM1030 Chemical Structure <strong>and</strong> ReactionsMATH1061 Discrete <strong>Mathematics</strong>Semester 2PHYS1002 Electromagnetism, Optics, Relativity <strong>and</strong> Quantum <strong>Physics</strong> IMATH1052* Multivariate Calculus & Ordinary Differential EquationsCSSE1001 Introductions to S<strong>of</strong>tware Engineering 1STAT1201 Analysis <strong>of</strong> Scientific Data*<strong>Students</strong> who have not achieved a “sound achievement” in Grade 12 <strong>Mathematics</strong> C must complete MATH1050,Mathematical Foundations, in Semester 1 be<strong>for</strong>e attempting MATH1051. <strong>Students</strong> should then enrol in both MATH1051<strong>and</strong> 1052 in Semester 2.SECOND YEARSemester 1PHYS2020 Thermodyn & Condensed MatterPHYS2055 Introduction to Fields in <strong>Physics</strong>COSC2000 Introduction to Computational BiologyMATH2000 Calculus & Linear Algebra IISemester 2PHYS2041COSC2500PHYS2100MATH2100Quantum <strong>Physics</strong>Numerical Methods in Computational ScienceDynamics, Chaos & Special RelativityApplied Mathematical AnalysisPage 42THIRD YEARSemester 1PHYS3040Quantum <strong>Physics</strong>
