B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematical Physics

Trent University

Benefit from a small group, interactive learning environment, with access to state-of-the-art equipment for lab work, including high-powered computers, powerful lasers and microscopes, and biomaterial characterization tools.With Mathematical Physics you learn what makes the world go round...literally. This combination of a math and physics degree gives you both the tools and framework needed to understand a variety of the world’s most fascinating challenges – from climate change, to celestial mechanics and computational biophysics. Trent’s Mathematical Physics program is the perfect balance of theory and practice for developing versatile analytical skills in an ever-changing modern world. Physicists conduct theoretical and applied research to extend knowledge of natural phenomena and to develop new processes and devices in fields such as electronics, communications, power generation and distribution, aerodynamics, optics and lasers, remote sensing, biotechnology, medicine and health. They are employed by electronic, electrical and aerospace manufacturing companies, telecommunications companies, power utilities, university and government research laboratories, hospitals and by a wide range of other processing, manufacturing, and research and consulting firms. Astronomers conduct observational and theoretical research to extend knowledge of the universe. They are employed by government and universities.
