Physics at Ryerson?

[dracore]

I am currently taking Ryerson's Continuing Education courses to complete the pre-reqs needed at US institutions. I can see that 2 semesters of physics is required. However at Ryerson, there are no courses called "Physics I" and "Physics II"

 

(Actually there are Physics I and II courses but they are only diploma credit rather than degree)

 

What I do see from the Ryerson site are the following:

 

# CKPS 115 — Physics I (diploma credit)

# CKPS 215 — Physics II (diploma credit)

# CPCS 110 — Physics

# CPCS 119 — Physics for the Life Sciences I

# CPCS 125 — Physics: Waves and Fields

# CPCS 181 — Introduction to Astronomy

# CPCS 211 — Physics: Mechanics

# CPCS 213 — Physics: Sound, Light and Modern Physics

# CPCS 219 — Physics for The Life Sciences II

 

Anyone have any clue which 2 physics courses would be equivalent to Physics I and II? I'm thinking CPCS 110 (I) but I don't know about the second one... CPCS 125??

 

Thanks

I would guess Physics for Life Sciences I & II. A number of universities have similarly titled physics courses.

I've thought about life sciences but I'm not too sure. The requirement is for "general physics". Any ideas what the difference between a life science course is v.s. a regular one?

Physics for the Life Sciences was general physics when I took it at U of Guelph. I think if you were a physics or engineering major, there might be other physics courses to take.

Thanks for the info
