Building on your Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) or Bachelor of Science (Mathematics and Statistics) degree, you will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge through study of advanced statistics courses and completion of a research project. You will conduct, and report on, a research project under the supervision of a staff member with the appropriate expertise. The Honours program will give you an appreciation of the professional standards required of the practising scientist, and the ethical challenges presented by modern science and technology. You will also participate in research teams, be introduced to advanced experimental and literature research methods, and have opportunities to make contact with the wider scientific community in the local region, elsewhere in Australia and overseas.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Applied Mathematics & Statistics)

The Undergraduate Certificate in Science is your opportunity to learn more about the world the around you, and dip your toes in an exciting future career in science.This program will introduce you to the nature and role of science in society. You’ll examine what science is, the importance of science for sustainable development, and learn about the role of ethical conduct in scientific endeavour.You’ll explore keys topics in biology, such as metabolism, growth and production, sensing and response, and adaption and evolution, and have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in practical laboratory experiences. You will also learn how to collect and analyse scientific data and statistics, and be introduced to data management software where you’ll learn how to present and communicate statistical information effectively.This program has been developed in consultation with industry experts, such as Fementasmania and the aquaculture industry, and incorporates learning through practice by giving you authentic learning experiences. This means you’ll be developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry demands, placing you in good stead for a future career in science-based growth industries, such as fermentation or salmon aquaculture. If you complete the Undergraduate Certificate in Science and wish to continue further study, you can apply for an Associate Degree in Applied Science or Bachelor of Science.

Gain fundamental science knowledge and skills to set you on a pathway to career success. You’ll explore real world tools and techniques in chemistry, physics, and maths. Visualise yourself as a science professional and prep for your future.

Introduction to University Mathematics

This subject is a continuing subject, with emphasis on the application of single-variable calculus and linear algebra to problems in mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, economics, and engineering. The subject also provides an excellent introduction to the mathematical rigour required for higher level mathematics based subjects.

Mathematics, equipped with the powerful tools logic and reasoning, is the key ingredient that enriches all areas of education. A sound knowledge in mathematics not only opens up numerous career options, but also helps to understand the world in which one operates. The subject aims to provide the necessary introductory knowledge that is essential to undertake university studies in mathematics, which require pre-tertiary mathematics background. Students will learn basic concepts of number and algebra, leading to the study of functions in general and the study of special functions such as trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. The concept of the derivative of a function will be discussed from first principles and applied to a range of real-world problems, emphasising the importance of understanding the material conceptually and graphically. Graph sketching and optimisation problems will demonstrate simple applications of the derivative. Students will learn skills of integral calculus, with applications to finding areas under curves.Students who successfully complete Introduction to University Mathematics will qualify for entry into subjects or degree programs at the University of Tasmania which have pre-tertiary Mathematics Methods 4 MTM514117 or equivalent as a prerequisite, including first year subject Mathematics 1B (TAS-KMA154). The subject may be taken as an elective to support other majors in the BSc or any other degree.

Mathematics, equipped with the powerful tools logic and reasoning, is the key ingredient that enriches all areas of education. A sound knowledge in mathematics not only opens up numerous carrier options, but also helps to understand the world in which one operates. The subject aims to provide the necessary basic knowledge that is essential to undertake tertiary studies, which require pre-tertiary background in mathematics and statistics. A brief look at basic concepts and notation of sets will lead us to the study of linear algebra and systems of linear equations related to graphs of linear functions. We will then study algebra with indices, logarithms and trigonometry. The concept of sequences and series will be introduced through arithmetic and geometric progressions. The subject will conclude with studies of probability and statistics. We look at dependent and independent events, conditional probability and probability tables. We will also discuss permutations and combinations. Finally, we will investigate collecting data, presenting categorical and discrete data, data distributions and correlations between variables.
