Undergraduate program
The School of Mathematical Sciences offers a wide range of mathematics and statistics units for students in courses offered by the Faculty of Science as well as some mathematical methods units targeted to students in the Faculties of Engineering, Information Technology, and Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. It is important that you should be aware of some of the options available to you regarding the choice of units that may affect both the range of units available to you later in your course and your future career prospects.
The School offers units in Mathematical Sciences at all undergraduate levels, and also contributes to interdisciplinary programs in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and Atmospheric Science. Units are offered across a wide range of areas of modern mathematics, from mathematical methods to statistics to specialist areas of application. The principal teaching areas in the School are
- Mathematical techniques and applications
- Algebra, analysis and geometry
- Statistical techniques and applications
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Atmospheric science and fluid dynamics
For students in the Bachelor of Science
and related courses these teaching areas
are reflected in minor and/or major sequences in applied mathematics,
applied statistics, computational mathematics, mathematical statistics and
pure mathematics, along with broader minor and major sequences in mathematics. For details of the requirements for these sequences see
the relevant handbook page for ‘Mathematics and Statistics’ in the left-hand column (scrolling down to the
Sequence requirements header
on that page). The requirements for
the minor and major sequences in
‘Astronomy and Astrophysics’ and
‘Atmospheric Science’ are also available
from the relevant links in the left-hand
column.
To provide some guidance in the choice
of unit combinations, recommended pathways have been developed for many
of the minor and major sequences.
