Aims
The program of study aims to develop a range of transferable research, analytical and communication skills including the capacity to:
- develop a foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of mathematics
- understand professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
- critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
- understand the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so
- prepare for future professional roles as a mathematician.
The major provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in a mathematics related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the major, students will be able to:
- competently use professional skills and knowledge in the analysis and solution of complex mathematical problems
- apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
- communicate effectively with other mathematicians and statisticians and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
- work professionally as an individual and in a team
- develop mathematical solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
- engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of mathematics.
