RETURN TO PROGRAMS 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.
