B.Sc. Mathematical Physics

You will study four compulsory courses: Physics 1A, Introduction to Linear Algebra, Calculus and its Applications and Mathematics for Physics 2. You will also have the opportunity to take a further course in pure mathematics or physics.

You will study modern physics, dynamics, fields & waves, and physics of matter. Mathematics courses will cover several variable calculus and the foundations of pure mathematics. You will be introduced to practical physics, including programming, data analysis and (optionally) experimental techniques. You will also have the freedom to choose a further specialist maths course or a course from other academic areas.

You will study core courses in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism and relativity, and lagrangian dynamics. You will also undertake further specialist mathematics courses, and have the opportunity to take a number of option courses from a range available.

In this year there are a number of compulsory courses covering quantum theory, symmetries of quantum mechanics, classical electrodynamics, Hamiltonian dynamics and statistical physics. Students also take a number of other courses from a range available.
