Mathematical skills are an essential ingredient for decision making and modelling in Business and Industry. Knowledge of Statistics is also essential for the collection and analysis of data. Most organisations realise that success depends critically on their ability to manage these activities and therefore seek employees with a solid background in Mathematics and Statistics. This stream develops knowledge of quantitative reasoning via studies in the fundamental concepts of Applied Mathematics, Numerical Mathematics, Operations Research and Statistics.

Pre/Corequisite(s):
An introductory computer literacy course.

Assumed knowledge:
SACE Stage 2 Mathematical Studies

Notes

  1. Students cannot take both MATH 1036 Statistical Methods and MATH 1029 Statistical Analysis in Business. For subsequent courses where MATH 1036 is listed as a prerequisite, a grade of Credit or better in MATH 1029 is required.
  2. At least 2 of the courses chosen in a Major must be at level 3.
  3. Other level 3 courses are available from both the LBMA and DBQF programs which may be taken, subject to prerequisite conditions.
  4. An eight course major can be extended to a 12 course extended major by taking extra courses from the list or from additional electives in the third year of the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences program, subject to prerequisites.
