Just curious.

The general physics course 1B03 had about 150 students per lecture group (there were 2 in the first semster)
I can't say for sure for the life science physics 1BB3, but once you've done 1B03 and go to the most advanced physics course for 1st year,1BA3, the class size were approx 30-40 and there are currently 3 lecture groups.
And then it shrinks even more.
As a 1st year physics students I strongly recommend physics at mcmaster. I also strongly recommend taking Astro 1F03(cross listed as phys 1F03). This course has inspired me. Also the professor (Dr.Reid) was by far the best professor I had in first year (even better then Dr.Lock for chem). Astro 1F03 compliments some aspects of Phys 1B03 and 1BA3.
As for the math courses. I don't know about Math & stat first year courses but i'd imagine them to be smaller then the science ones. The science math courses (1A03 and 1AA3) ranged from 80-100 per lectur group with about 3 lecture groups all together. Math 1B03 was a huge class only becuase almost all science and math students have to take it.
