No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1975–76 to 1982–83 (before that, 1970–71 to 1974–75 used the number for Mechanics, Wave Motion and Heat 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This is an enriched version of Phys 121: includes the topics listed in the description of Phys 121 plus enrichment topics, e.g. Taylor series, numerical methods for solving differential equations and programming the Physics Nova computer.
As printed in the 1978–79 to 1982–83 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
Requirements, as last listed
Prereq: At least 75% average in Ontario Year 5 Phys, Math-Functions and Relations, and Calculus. Science students must take 162L with this course.
