Program overview

You will choose a program of study that suits your entry level, with a major in either: Applied Mathematics Pure Mathematics You will study subjects from the list of Preparation and Foundations subjects, plus elective subjects from maths and statistics, and Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics or Advanced Topic in Pure Mathematics. Preparation subjects include Multivariate and Vector Calculus, Differential Equations: Analysis and Applications, Linear Algebra and Groups, Complex Variables and Group Theory, Mathematical Modelling, and Real Analysis. Foundation subjects include Mathematics for Cryptography, Enhanced Programs in Differential Equations, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Industrial Mathematical Modelling, Financial Calculus, Operations Research, Numerical Analysis, Algebra, Calculus of Variations and Geometry, Wavelets, Medical Mathematics and Applications, and Applied Probability and Financial Risk. You will also complete a research project. Topics include those offered by UOW staff, those from the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute Summer and Winter graduate schools and classes available remotely, via the School's access grid room. Potential topics include C*-Algebras, Solutions to Differential Equations by One-Parameter Groups, Non-linear Differential Equations, Algebraic Number Theory. Recognising that in a work environment mathematicians are often involved in management and specific subject matter issues, the degree allows some subjects to be taken from other disciplines. This option is seen as particularly relevant for both Australian and international candidates with some work experience.
