Plan Outline

This is the Plan for the major in Applied Mathematics for students in the Bachelor of Commerce Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) -3523.

Applied Mathematics concerns the development of Mathematics and models for understanding scientific phenomena, for the solution of technical and industrial problems, and for use in the social, economic and management sciences. Courses are designed to provide basic mathematical and computational skills needed for a wide range of applications, to develop the capability to construct, analyse and interpret mathematical models, and to encourage enthusiasm for the role of the mathematician in a variety of contexts.
