| (1) As an alternative, students may
take the Mathematics courses prescribed for the Year 1 programme of the
Mathematical Physics MPhys. |
| (2) Students wishing to take Informatics
(Schedule O) courses in Year 3 will need to take further Informatics courses
here. |
| (3) As an alternative, students may take the Mathematics
and Mathematical Physics courses prescribed for the Year 2 programme of
the Mathematical Physics MPhys. |
| (4) The Programme Guide gives details
and constraints on choice of courses, to facilitate advance planning. |
| (5) Progression to the final
years of the MPhys programme requires no less than than 55% overall in Junior
Honours and an average of at least 50% in Section B of the core course examinations
(Quantum Mechanics, Dynamics & Relativity, Statistical Mechanics,
and Electromagnetism; from 2006/7, Quantum Mechanics,
Dynamics, Relativity & Electromagnetism,
Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics). This is in addition to the
general progression requirements. |
| (6) Students who have taken Lagrangian
Dynamics or Tensors & Fields or this course in year 3 should instead take an
additional course chosen from Schedule Q at level 10/11. |
