Bachelor of Mathematics Subjects
Set out below are those subjects referred to in Rule 108 which may be taken in the Bachelor of Mathematics degree.

Areas of Major Study
Within the Bachelor of Mathematics, a major study in either Mathematics or Applied Statistics can be combined with a major study in the following disciplines:

Computer Science
Economics
Accountancy
Business Systems
Management
Marketing
Finance
Biomedical Sciences

Candidates wishing to major in Mathematics and/or Applied Statistics and a discipline not listed above are advised to first consult with the Sub-Dean of the Faculty of Informatics for verification of their intended program. Candidates may also study a major in the following areas of science, but this will necessitate completing more than the standard 144 credit points in the degree:

Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Geology
Human Geography
Physical Geography
Geoscience
Physics

MAJOR STUDY IN MATHEMATICS (specialisation code MATH)
MAJOR STUDY IN APPLIED STATISTICS (specialisation code STAT)
MAJOR STUDY IN MATHEMATICS AND APPLIED STATISTICS (specialisation code MAST)

To satisfy the requirements for a major study in Mathematics, a student shall satisfactorily complete (at a grade of Pass or better) any MATH or STAT subjects listed below, to a total of at least 48 credit points; of which at least 18 credit points must be at 200 level and at least 24 credit points must be at 300 level.

To satisfy the requirements for a major study in Applied Statistics, a student shall satisfactorily complete (at a grade of Pass or better) any MATH or STAT subjects listed below, to a total of at least 48 credit points; of which at least 18 credit points must be at 200 level and must include STAT231 and STAT232; and at least 24 credit points must be of 300 level STAT subjects.

MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (specialisation code MA01)
APPLIED STATISTICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (specialisation code ST01)

Candidates wishing to combine a major study in either Mathematics or Applied Statistics with a major study in Computer Science are advised of the following approved major study (48 credit points total) from within the School of Information Technology and Computer Science.

MAJOR STUDIES IN MATHEMATICS/STATISTICS AND VARIOUS SCIENCES

Students should refer to an Academic Advisor in the school of Maths and Applied Statistics for assistance with choice of subjects.

specialisation code MA07 - Mathematics and Biology
specialisation code MA08 - Mathematics and Chemistry
specialisation code MA02 - Mathematics and Geography
specialisation code MA09 - Mathematics and Geology
specialisation code MA10 - Mathematics and Physics
specialisation code MA11 - Mathematics and Ecology and Biogeography
specialisation code ST07 - Applied Statistics and Biology
specialisation code ST08 - Applied Statistics and Chemistry
specialisation code ST02 - Applied Statistics and Geography

specialisation code ST10 - Applied Statistics and Physics
specialisation code ST11 - Applied Statistics and Ecology and Biogeography


The Faculty suggests the following Undergraduate Degree programs for students wishing to undertake particular Mathematical careers:

The following information is intended as a guideline to the candidate in selecting suitable supplementary subjects to make a reasonable pattern for Mathematics degrees in the various fields of Mathematics.

All candidates are expected to consult with the School and Faculty advisers before committing themselves completely to any particular pattern, whether outlined below or not.

It is emphasised that the following programs are based on the usual 48 credit points per year, totalling 144 credit points over 3 years.

Industrial and Applied Mathematics (including Numerical Analysis)

First Year MATH187, MATH188, MATH111, MATH121, STAT131 and CSCI111 (and 12 other credit points possibly being PHYS141 and PHYS142)

Second Year MATH201, MATH202, MATH203, MATH204 and MATH212 (and 18 other credit points from the General Schedule, possibly including further Mathematics subjects)

Third Year MATH302, MATH305, and at least 2 of MATH312, MATH313, MATH316, MATH317 and MATH321 (and up to 12 other credit points from the Mathematics Schedule, and 12 other credit points)
