The Chemistry Department has approved the following changes in the physical
chemistry undergraduate curriculum:
a) Chem. 261-3 and Chem362-3.
Minor changes in calendar description (as attached)
1
Replacement of Chem-469-2 - Topics in Physical Chemistry?
by Chem-469-3 - Selected Topics in Physical Chemistry
4)
Deletion of Chem 460-2, and 464-2
Rationale:
The proposed changes are intended to provide integrated coverage of the basic
principles of physical chemistry at the second- and third-year level (Chem. 261,361,
362) and a choice of advanced topics at the senior level (Chem 469). In the past,
the two-credit fourth-year courses (Chem. 460,461,464,469) generally had low enrol-
ments thus not justifying their continued regular presentation under specific titles
Chem. 469-3 will be given at least once a year, and the topics covered in a given
semester will be announced in the Preregistration Handbook. Since special topics
courses with different subtitles (but identical course number) are considered as
separate entities on the Registrar's records, students specially interested in physical
chemistry may complete two (or even three) such courses for a total of six (or nine)
Chem. 469 credits.

In addition to the changes in our physical chemistry courses mailed to you
earlier, the Chemistry Department has approved the following calendar revisions:
?
9
?
Required MATH courses for Chemistry Major:
change from MATH 151, 152, 251, 310 and (232 or 252)?
to MATH 151, 152, 251, 310 and 232.
Rationale: The Math Department has proposed to make MATH 232 a pre-
reouisite for MATH 252.
Required PHYS courses for Chemistry Major:
change from PHYS 120, 121 and 6 credits from PHSY 131, 211, 221, 233
to PHYS 120, 121, 211 and 3 credits from PHYS 131, 221, 233.
Rationale: PHYS 211 has always been a prerequisite for CHEM 361, a core
course in the CHEM Major program.

?
change from CHEM 366
to CHEM 361 (or PHYS 385) and 366.
Rationale: CHEM 361 is needed to understand the experiments in CHEM 367.

Prerequisites for CHEM
371:
change from CHEM 232, 251, 261
to CHEM 251 and 261.
Rationale: The inorganic chemistry background is not essential for
CHEM 371.

The
following additional
Calendar changes have been approved by the Chemistry
Department and are
now submitted for approval to the Science Faculty:
A.)
?
Prerequisites for C1{EM.218-3:
Change from: CREM.10-3; CREM.118-2 Is strongly recommended,
to: C}LEM.105-3, 118-2.
Rationale:
To accommodate students already in the program at the time of
introduction of CHEM.218-3 (and concurrent change of
CIiEM.117-2 to CHEM.118-2), CHEM.118 was not immediately made
a prerequisite.
both courses are in the Chemistry, Bio-
chemistry and Premedical core program and should be taken in
the prescribed order. CHEM.118may he waived as I)rereaujqltp
