Advanced mathematical methods are increasingly important in basic and applied research in physics, helping to drive exciting developments in both technology (for example, quantum optics and nanotechnology) and fundamental physics (for example cosmology and quantum information theory). The Department of Applied Mathematics, in collaboration with the Department of Physics, has therefore introduced an undergraduate program entitled "Mathematical Physics".
Achim Kempf, Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Physics of Information explains studying the Big Bang.
The
program
offers
an
integrated
set
of
courses
in
mathematics
and
physics,
leading
to
the
BMath
Honours
Degree
or
the
BSc
Honours
Degree.
We
also
offer
opportunities
for
summer
undergraduate
research
terms,
with
the
possibility
of
working
with
researchers
in
the
Institute
of
Quantum
Computing
and
the
Perimeter
Institute.
If your interests are focused on the theoretical/mathematical side of physics then this is the program for you.
