- 1977–78
No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1977–78; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Some mathematical techniques used in solving problems in the areas of physics familiar to second-year students i.e. mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism .The use of differential equations, partial derivatives, vectors, polar coordinates and matrices. Elementary statistics for the analysis of experimental data. 3 lectures, offered in Fall, Winter and Spring terms
As printed in the 1972–73 to 1977–78 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
Requirements, as last listed
Prerequisites: A course in first year physics and in calculus or consent of instructor

Your dose of Piazza Drama: PHYS256 assignment gets random questions dropped before grading, students are NOT happy (see comment for more info) 10 points, 24 comments
u/kalashnikovgobrrrr: “… And, even better - the midterm for PHYS265 happens to also be on October 17th! People are extremely pissed about this. How will it continue? How will the students proceed? Stay tuned for next time! …”
