Perimeter Scholars International (Canada)
COURSEWORK
The coursework is divided into four phases and is followed by a short research project. The course will advance:
• Research Skills: presentation skills, basic mathematical tools, and computers.
• Core Topics: foundational subjects, including quantum mechanics, general relativity, quantum field theory, statistical physics, condensed matter, and mathematical physics.
• Reviews: applications to real-world phenomena, such as particle physics, cosmology, gravitational physics, quantum gravity and condensed matter. Students will choose from a selection of courses.
• Explorations: short, in-depth courses on specialized fields which are currently "hot."
• The Essay: each student undertakes a short research project supervised by a Faculty member, and produces an essay that is publicly presented and defended.
