This plan is for Advanced Mathematics in the Advanced Science degree 3972, and allows for more flexibility in course choices than other Mathematics plans within 3972.

Note: This study plan is only available by invitation from the Head of School of Mathematics. Normally students would not be invited unless they have a UAI of at least 98 and a mark of at least 97 in HSC Maths Extension 2 or have Mathematical Olympiad experience. Students in later years may also be invited to join this plan if their WAM exceeds 85 and their Maths WAM exceeds 90. Enrolment in the plan is also subject to approval by the Associate Dean (Academic) of the Faculty of Science. Students are able to approach the Head of School of Mathematics if they are interested in being invited to join the plan.

Students need to maintain a very high level of achievement (normally a WAM in excess of 80 and Maths WAM in excess of 85) to stay in this plan.

If a student is not able to continue in the plan for any reason, then they will be transferred to another suitable plan in Advanced Science or major in Science with a variation of program to that plan or major if necessary so that they are not disadvantaged by having taken the Advanced Mathematics Plan.

The selection of Advanced Mathematics options and electives in the student’s program of study is made by the student in consultation with their academic mentor. The choice of electives can be made to suit a student’s interests and may include a mix of Mathematics Courses and courses from other Schools. The final details require approval of the Head of School of Mathematics and the Associate Dean (Academic) of the Faculty of Science. The outline below is the normal program of study, but may be varied to suit the particular student.
