Complementary courses provide an opportunity for students to explore subjects outside their field of concentration and are offered in six different areas. Except for Liberal Arts, Arts & Sciences and Double DEC programs, students must take two (2) complementary courses as part of their General Education requirement.
Students are encouraged to select courses from subjects that are outside their program of study;
Students can take a course from each ensemble of the same domain;
Or
Students can take a course from either ensemble of two different domains;
Or
Students can take a course from the same ensemble of two different domains;
Domain 1, Domain 2, Domain 3 , Domain 4 , Domain 5 and Domain 6

Students will also have a common meeting time for science-related field trips and invited speakers.

Prerequisite: SEE MATHEMATICS SEQUENCE CHART
This course includes a review of algebra, functions, limits, continuity; differentiation of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions; related rates, curve sketching, optimization, including word problems, antiderivatives, definite integrals and areas.

Prerequisite: SEE SCIENCE PLACEMENT CHART
Oriented towards understanding concepts, this course examines numerous macroscopic properties of solutions and chemical reactions. Major topics in this physical chemistry course include colligative properties, reactions, equilibrium (both general and solution equilibria), electrochemistry, kinetics, and acids and bases.

Topics covered in this basic mechanics course include linear and rotational kinematics, trajectories, Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy and momentum. Emphasis is placed on problem solving and laboratory work. Many laboratory exercises involve using computers for data acquisition, and students are encouraged to use computers to analyze data and plot graphs.

Every student needs one of each of the Block “A” and Block “B” courses in order to complete their DEC. For each block, there are four levels of courses: Level 1 , Level 2 , Level 3 and Level 4.
Placement in the appropriate level of French is determined by the students’ high school marks. The French Department reserves the right to change the placement of a student upon written notice. Students take the Block “B” course at the same level as the Block “A” course.
If placement determines that students do not have a college level of proficiency in French, students may be required to take remedial courses to upgrade their knowledge of the language. Click to view courses list.

Prerequisite: 201-NYA
This course covers inverse trigonometric functions: graphs, differentiation, integrals involving inverse trigonometric functions; integration techniques: substitutions, powers of trig functions, trig substitution, partial fractions, integration by parts; physical applications of integration, areas between curves, volumes of solids of revolution, L’Hôpital’s Rule and indeterminate forms, improper integrals, sequences, infinite series, power series, tests for convergence, plus Maclaurin and Taylor series and applications.

Prerequisite: 202-NYB
This course introduces atomic and molecular structures. Topics covered include development of modern atomic theory; chemical bonding and its effect on the chemical and physical properties of matter.

Prerequisite: 203-NYA
This course emphasizes the basic physical principles of electricity and magnetism, with calculus being introduced where necessary. Topics include Coulomb’s Law, electric field, electric potential, motion of charged particles in electric fields, capacitors, DC circuits, Kirchhoff’s Laws, RC circuits, Biot-Savart Law, magnetic fields, motion of charged particles in magnetic fields, torque on a current loop and Faraday’s Law.

General Biology 1 is an introductory level course compulsory for all science students and is a prerequisite for all other Biology Option Courses offered in the Science Program. This course offers students an introduction to the life sciences focusing on the organization, functioning and diversity of life forms. Upon completion of General Biology, students will have been given the opportunity to:

1. Recognize the relationship between structure and function at different levels of organization;
2. Understand cell division and the genetic mechanisms important in inheritance;
3. Appreciate the mechanisms of evolution and understand how life forms adapt to their environment;
4. Develop a basic understanding of the principles of ecology and some environmental issues facing man.

Prequisite: 201-NYA
This course covers the solution of systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants; vectors in 2-space and 3-space, dot product, cross product, lines and planes, introduction to concepts of linear combinations, spans, subspaces, linear dependence and independence, basis, dimension, row space, column space, null space and applications.

Prerequisite: 203-NYA & 201-NYA | C: 203-NYB (PASSED OR IN PROGRESS)
Wave behaviour is fundamental to an astonishing list of physical phenomena. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to analyze waves in both a qualitative and quantitative manner, and will come face-to-face with some of the bizarre and counterintuitive implications of modern physics. Topics include simple harmonic motion, waves and sound, interference and diffraction of light, quantum mechanics, and special relativity.
