Here is our MMP Syllabus for Winter 2011.  Notice that we have slowed down from fall, to make more room for your research projects.  We can finish the more advanced chapters in Boas, Modern Physics, and E&M in spring, if you like, along with Quantum Mechanics and Cosmology – or whatever other topics you choose for Spring.
