A-Z hy

investigation of intermolecular forces in liquids and
solids. The lab work stresses scientific observations
and measurements using chemical syntheses and
quantitative analyses.

Prerequisites: CHEM 12 or CHEM 60 or CHEM 110, and
Pre-calculus Math 11 (Principles of MATH 71) or Math
50, each with a grade “C” or higher. Pre-calculus
Math 120r MATH 6o is recommended.

CHEM 125 - FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II

The continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122.
The course consists of two major units: physical
chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of
physical chemistry begins with an investigation of
reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles
of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous
solutions, and an introduction to the laws of
thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey
of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the
physical and chemical properties of alkanes and
alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution,
and elimination reactions. The laboratory work
involves the measurement of physical and chemical
properties as well as chemical syntheses.

Prerequisites: CHEM 110 or CHEM 122 with a grade of
“C” or higher.

CPSC 100 - INTRODUCTION
TO PROGRAMMING |

An introductory object-oriented (OO) programming
course with emphasis on basic programming
constructs, algorithms, program design, and good
programming practices. This course will introduce a
high-level language to illustrate programming basics.
Students will develop and test small OO programs
which loop, make decisions, access arrays, define
classes, instantiate objects, and invoke methods.

Prerequisites: Pre-calculus 12, Foundations 12, MATH
50 with a grade of “C” or higher.

ENGL 110 - COLLEGE COMPOSITION

English 110 is about thinking and writing. You will
learn how to develop and express informed opinions
on issues that matter. You will also learn about
research, editing, and expository and persuasive
academic writing forms.

Prerequisites: A grade of “C” or higher in English
Studies 72 or equivalent or LPI level 4.

MATH 100 - CALCULUS I

A course designed to provide students with the
background in calculus needed for further studies.
This course includes: a review of functions

and graphs; limits; the derivative of algebraic,
trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions;
applications of the derivative including related

rates, maxima, minima, velocity and acceleration;
the definite integral; an introduction to elementary
differential equations; and, applications of integration
including velocity, acceleration, areas, and growth
and decay problems.

Prerequisites: Pre-calculus 12, Principles of MATH 12
or equivalent with a grade of “C+” or higher.

MATH 101 - CALCULUS II

This course is a sequel to MATH 100 for those
students who wish to major in mathematics,
sciences or applied sciences. The course includes:
antidifferentiation and integration; the definite
integral; areas and volumes; transcendental
functions; techniques of integration; parametric
equations; polar coordinates; indeterminate forms,
improper integrals and Taylor’s formula; and infinite
series.

Prerequisites: MATH 100 or equivalent with a grade of
“C” or higher.

MATH 221 - INTRODUCTORY
LINEAR ALGEBRA

Provides an introduction to linear algebra and

vector spaces. Topics covered in the course include
the solution of systems of linear equations through
Gaussian elimination; matrices and matrix algebra;
vector spaces and their subspaces; coordinate
mappings and other linear transformations;
construction of Gram-Schmidt bases and least-square
approximations. Although the course devotes

a substantial amount of time to computational
techniques, it should also lead the student to develop
geometrical intuitions, to appreciate and understand
mathematical abstraction and to construct some
elementary proofs.

Prerequisites: MATH 100 with a grade of “C” or higher.

PHYS 104 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS |

A calculus-based survey of mechanics and
thermodynamics. This course is designed for students
interested in further study in Physical Science and
Engineering.

Prerequisites: PHYS 12 or equivalent with a grade of
“C” or higher. Corequisite: Math 100

ENGINEERING

PHYS 105 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS II

A calculus-based survey of waves, sound, optics,
electricity and magnetism. This course is designed
for students interested in further study in Physical
Science and Engineering.

Prerequisites: PHYS 104 and MATH 100 with a grade
of “C” or higher.Corequisite: Math 101

PHYS 200 - PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS

This physics (engineering) course is designed to
further the student’s ability to apply Newton’s laws
of motion to problems which involve the following
concepts: coordinate systems; free body diagram;
equivalent force systems; the statics of particles and
rigid bodies; friction and force; particle mass and
acceleration. Problem-solving is emphasized, where
both analytic (vector) and graphic techniques are
used to solve the assigned problems.

Prerequisites: PHYS 105, MATH 1071 or its equivalent
with a grade of “C” or higher.

GENERAL UAS ELECTIVE

A student may take any first-year or higher university
transferable course to satisfy this elective. Each
course must transfer for three or more credits to

at least one of: SFU, UBC (Vancouver or Okanagan),
UNBC or UVIC. To learn more about how your courses
transfer visit the online BC Transfer Guide or contact
a Selkirk College counsellor.
