The University of Newcastle

Bachelor of Science (Mathematics)

Science is about asking new questions and then answering them. Science underpins all things, including technology, business, environmental management, research, and health. Complement and enhance your knowledge by developing business and communication skills.

These are courses currently available in "Biodiversity and Conservation".

Calculus of Science and Engineering provides the essential mathematical techniques of Physical Science and Engineering. These are the methods of Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. Multivariable Calculus involves a study of the differential and integral calculus of functions of two or more variables.

Complex analysis forms a basis for not only advanced mathematical topics, including differential equations, number theory, operator theory, and other 3000 and higher-level courses, but also for special functions of mathematical and quantum physics.

Mathematics for Engineering, Science, and Technology 2 covers the mathematics necessary to perform calculations in, and create models for, the real world of Science and Engineering. Specifically, it will demonstrate how to do mathematics in a three-dimensional world.

Number Theory: Modern Society is built on a foundation of algorithms underpinned by the ubiquity of the computer, a discrete device that depends upon its programmed ability to understand the integers.

Partial Differential Equations arise from the mathematical modeling of a wide range of problems in biology, engineering, physical sciences, economics, and finance. Therefore, they form an essential part of the mathematical background required for engineering and physical sciences.

Research Integrated Learning: This course provides extension material to encourage the development of advanced skills and enhance career progression. This is done through experiential learning supported by appropriate readings and career guidance that allows students to expand the theoretical knowledge and skills developed in their undergraduate program and integrate these with real-world skills and experience through undertaking a supervised practical project.
