What average do I need for Waterloo math?
At least try having a 90 average with marks in math over 90 of course . But even having a 90 doesn’t guarantee you. Waterloo math is quite competitive… it’s not impossible , but it’s competitive. For Canada… the admission book says high 80’s to low 90’s (individual selection).
What prerequisites do I need for physics?
To study physics, you should take as much high school and college mathematics as you can reasonably fit into your schedule. Especially, take the entire run of algebra, geometry/trigonometry, and calculus courses available, including Advanced Placement courses if you qualify.
What degrees are related to physics?
If you’re thinking of doing a physics degree you could also consider:
- an engineering degree.
- a chemical physics degree.
- a maths degree.
- an astrophysics degree.
- a computer science degree.
- a chemistry degree.
- a medical physics degree or physics with medical applications degree.
What can you do with a Waterloo math degree?
What can you do with a degree in Mathematics? Waterloo Mathematics graduates often pursue careers in software development, consulting, and more. They typically work in banks, insurance companies, and research companies.
Why study mathematics at Waterloo?
You won’t find a better place to study than Waterloo. Our Faculty of Mathematics is the largest in Canada. Meanwhile, the Department of Physics is one of Canada’s largest and most innovative, and this program comes with a co-op option so students can gain up to two years of paid work experience while pursuing their degree.
Why study astrophysics at Waterloo?
Researchers will collaborate with some of the top astrophysics agencies in the world. The program’s strong ties to Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing provide additional opportunities to get involved in research. Meanwhile, if you opt for our co-op program, you’ll gain valuable résumé-building experience on your work terms.
What kind of math do you learn in mathematical physics?
This math is universal. In Mathematical Physics, you’ll combine theoretical physics with high-level math courses in differential equations, vector calculus, and applied mathematics. You’ll also get plenty of chances to apply that learning with hands-on labs in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, computer programming, optics, and more.
