Step 3 Review Program Descriptions in Calendar
to determine required 1st Year courses

• Economics (Arts program)
• Major program
• (7 full courses or their equivalent)
• Enrolment in this program is limited to students
  with 67 in ECO100Y1 or 80 in ECO105Y1,
• MAT133Y1/MAT135Y1/MAT137Y1 and a CGPA of 2.0.
• First Year
• ECO100Y1/ECO105Y1 MAT133Y1/MAT135Y1/MAT137Y1
• Higher Years
• 1. ECO200Y1/ ECO204Y1/ECO206Y1,
  ECO202Y1/ECO208Y1/ECO209Y1, ECO220Y1/ECO227Y1/(STA
  250H1,
• STA255H1)/(STA257H1, STA261H1)

Major program in Economics requires two courses
in first year ECO100Y1 (or ECO105Y1) plus

PHY Departmental Identifier

• PHY140Y1 Foundations of Physics
• The first physics course in many of the
  Specialist and Major Programs in Physical
  Sciences. It provides an introduction to the
  concepts, approaches and tools the physicist uses
  to describe the physical world while laying the
  foundation for classical and modern mechanics.
  Topics include the motion of single particles
  and rigid, extended bodies (Newtonian Mechanics)
  the concepts of force, work, and energy simple
  harmonic motion planetary motion, gravitation
  black holes special relativity an introduction
  to elementary particle physics electrostatics
  the breakdown of Newtonian mechanics in the
  microscopic world atomic and nuclear physics an
  introduction to Quantum Mechanics, wave-particle
  duality and the uncertainty principle. Students
  take the Physics Specialist Laboratory in
  alternating weeks. The first component consists
  of dynamics and mechanics experiments in our
  computer based laboratory. The second component
  consists of a free choice experiments chosen from
  a list of basic experimental techniques, standard
  and classic experiments.Reference Knight,
