I will be going more into Geology

[Chow]

Hello there, I am currently a student at University of Alberta, finishing finals then moving to the university of Saskatchewan, will be getting a 4 year degree in Geophysics.

The Physics related classes I have are Physics 144 146 281 271 which is Newtonian mechanics and relativity, fluids and waves, Electromagnetism and Introduction to Modern Physics.

144 and 146 seemed pretty much introduction, Newtonian Mechanics and waves and simple fluid dynamics with 1st year level calculus.

281 we had to learn the next semesters of math in one lecture..great fun..
271 Schrodinger's equation (time independent) and solving the hydrogen atom was pretty interesting I really enjoyed it, despite the difficulty being pretty rank. Had to learn a bunch of new math for that class as well.

Now in U of S most of those classes are not needed but, i have them..I will be going more into Geology, but i find myself having a few science options. I really want to dive deeper into the physics world with them, I am by no means exceptional in it, I am around class average in the 200 level+ courses, but my curiosity for it is pretty high. I am not sure where to go next U of S requires a 300 level E&M course, but from the looks of it in there course description we covered a lot of it in physics 281 at U of A. (A few 200 level courses there are 100 level courses at U of A, like linear algebra..)

I am thinking a 200 level mechanics course, SHO and stuff like that, any other suggestions?

If you are looking to further your understanding of physics, I would suggest taking a course in quantum mechanics. This is an advanced level course that covers topics such as wave equations, particle statistics, and the Schrodinger equation. You may also want to consider a course in statistical mechanics, which covers thermodynamics and the properties of systems in equilibrium. Additionally, you could look into a course on classical mechanics, which covers topics such as Newton's laws of motion and conservation of energy. Finally, you may also want to consider a course on relativity, which covers topics such as time dilation and the twin paradox. These courses will provide you with a more in-depth understanding of physics.
