Maths 2: ODEs and Complex Numbers, Determinants etc, Normal Modes and PDEs.
Astronomy: Zeilik & Gregory level intro (an alternative to Physics 2).
(Each paper was weighted equally and examined in June 1998. We were also required to pass the practical requirement. This part of the course did not count towards the degree, but you had to pass it to move on to Part II.)
Part II of BA, graduated with 1st class honours. Received Scott Prize for best performance in the BA examinations in 2000.
Paper A1: Kinetic theory, Thermodynamics, Staistical Mechanics, Mathematical methods.
Paper A2: Electromagnetism, Optics.
Paper A3: Quantum Mechanics, Atomic physics.
Paper A4: Condensed matter physics, electronics.
Paper A5: Special Relativity, Particle and nuclear physics, Mathematical methods.
Minor Option: Cosmology.
BA project: "A Determination of the Orbital Elements of Asteroid 925: Alphonsina" (gziped ps). Most BA students are required to chose from a list of boring projects, which were basically extended Part II practicals. I'd had enough of Physics practicals so I persuaded Gavin Dalton to help me find something to do with astronomy. He had accidentally observed this asteroid on three separate days during an observing run and had the idea that the images could be used to determine the orbital elements. I wrote a program to do this and it may be now being used as a Part II Astronomy practical. Funnily enough this asteroid was discovered on my birthday in 1920 (January 13th). I managed to find the orbit to sfficient accuracy to theoretically re-find the asteroid within a few months from my elements. I don't think that the Physics Department at Oxford liked me doing this project much (as was evidenced by the mark (or grade for my American friends) they gave me), but it didn't hurt my degree and I had a lot more fun than otherwise as I got to hang out in the Astronomy Deptartment for 4 weeks while I did it.
(A papers were examined in March of 2000 and each count for 16% of the final degree. The minor option was examined in June 2000 and counted for 8%. The BA project was done in April-May 2000 and counted for 11%. We were also required to pass the practical part of the course)
Also see Syllabus in Appendix of 2001 Physics Handbook, which may have changed slightly since the 1997 version that applied to my degree.
