Course Description
The Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced is available to students who have a superior mathematical knowledge on entry to UOW. It allows you to reduce the number of first-year mathematics subjects and replace them with enrichment projects which provide the opportunities to build links with industry and to understand the interaction between mathematics and society.
The program links in with the strong research activities of the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics. You will benefit from a close relationship with active researchers.
An Honours Advanced Mathematics degree is available to candidates who have achieved a distinction average or better in the Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced) degree.
Entry Requirements
Academic requirements, English requirements and credit transfer information are available from Course Finder.
Course structure
Students who enrol in Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced must satisfactorily complete at least 144 credit points which must include:
1. | Advanced Mathematics | |
2. | Procedural Programming | |
3. | each of the subjects: | |
Multivariate and Vector Calculus | ||
Linear Algebra | ||
Differential Equations 2 | ||
Complex Variables and Group Theory | ||
4. | each of the subjects: | |
Applied Mathematical Modelling 2 | ||
Continuous Mathematics | ||
Probability and Random Variables | ||
5. | Mathematics Project A | |
OR | ||
Statistics Project A | ||
6. | Mathematics Project | |
OR | ||
Statistics Project | ||
7. | 300- and/or 400- level subjects from the Mathematics Schedule with a value of at least: | |
a. 36 credit points, or | ||
b. 24 credit points, if there is a major study in Computer Science | ||
c. 30 credit points, if there is any other major study | ||
d. 48 credit points being composed of 24 credit points of MATH/INFO and 24 credit points of STAT subjects as well as at least one of MATH354 or STAT345 should a double major in both Mathematics and Statistics be completed. | ||
8. | a. a major study in Mathematics or Statistics (apart from MATH345 and STAT345) | |
b. to satisfy the requirement for a double major in Mathematics and Applied Statistics, a student shall satisfactorily complete at least 24 credit points of 300 level STAT subjects (at a grade of pass or better), at least 24 credit points of 300 level MATH subjects (at a grade of pass or better) as well as at least one of MATH345 or STAT345. Any of the 400 level INFO subjects listed in the Mathematics Schedule may be substituted for a 300 level MATH subject. | ||
9. | no more than 60 credit points at 100- level | |
10. | continuation in the Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced will normally be dependent upon achieving an average of at least 75% each year. Students who do not meet the required average will be transferred to the Bachelor of Mathematics degree. | |
Note that a student could do some 300-level subjects in second year. After satisfying the above requirements, the balance of subjects may be selected from either or both the Mathematics and the General Schedule | ||
Honours
A fourth year of study, Honours, is available to students who have achieved a Distinction average or better in the Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced. It is a challenging program that includes a research project.
Professional Recognition
The Bachelor of Mathematics Advanced is accredited by the Australian Mathematical Society.
Course Program
Below are two of the possible options.
Recommended Program in Mathematics, Statistics plus another discipline
The following is a possible program of maths/statistics subjects for someone intending to complete a second major in another discipline (ie a discipline other than Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science).
The requirements for the second major may vary according to discipline chosen. Some majors are listed under the Bachelor of Mathematics degree regulations; for others, candidates may need to check with the relevant school/unit.
