Several courses in the Medical Physics program have physics and math prerequisites. For example, APPH E4010: Introduction to Nuclear Science requires:
Physics C1403: Intro to Classical & Quantum Waves
3 pts. Prerequisite: PHYS C1402. Corequisite: MATH V1201, or the equivalent. Classical waves and the wave equation, Fourier series and integrals, normal modes, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, basic principles of quantum mechanics, energy levels, reflection and transmission coefficients, applications to atomic physics. Science Requirement: Partial Fulfillment.
Math V1202: Calculus IV
3 pts. Prerequisites: MATH V1201, or the equivalent. Multiple integrals, Taylor's formula in several variables, line and surface integrals, calculus of vector fields, Fourier series. (SC)
Math V1210: Ordinary Differential Equations
3 pts. Prerequisites: MATH V1201, or the equivalent. Special differential equations of order one. Linear differential equations with constant and variable coefficients. Systems of such equations. Transform and series solution techniques. Emphasis on applications.
Equivalent courses from other universities may be accepted provided that the student has earned a grade of B or better. please see the on-line Columbia University Directory of Classes for a complete description of the courses listed above which are offered at Columbia University.
