Mathematics
sequenceMathematics major, minor and electives
For information about mathematics subjects, contact the director of mathematics for computing (Caulfield), Dr Peter Grossman, on telephone 03 903 2273 or the Department of Mathematics office (Clayton), telephone 03 905 4439.
Mathematics and computing are closely related. Many of the problems that arise in computing are most appropriately described and investigated using the language and techniques of mathematics. For this reason, mathematics subjects studied in a computing course will enhance and deepen a student's understanding of the computing subjects, as well as being of interest in their own right. A computing degree with a strong mathematics component provides a sound basis for a career in a broad range of computer-related areas.
Students wishing to study mathematics as part of the Bachelor of Computing can choose from subjects in the areas of calculus, discrete mathematics, applied statistics, management science and numerical computing. The subjects are designed so that a student with only the minimum mathematical background required to enter the Bachelor of Computing course can undertake a sequence of mathematics subjects.
Mathematics subjects in the Bachelor of Computing may be taken to form a major or a minor sequence of study. A major sequence requires a minimum of fifty-two credit points of study and normally consists of two six-point subjects in first-year, four four-point subjects in second year, and six six-point subjects in third year. A minor sequence requires a minimum of twenty-eight credit points of study, and normally consists of two six-point subjects in first-year and four four-point subjects taken during the second and third years.
Any mathematics subject may also be taken as an elective, provided that the prerequisites for the subject are satisfied.
Students who are considering the option of transferring to the Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) course at Clayton campus at a later stage should note that at least twelve points of mathematics subjects are required in the first year of that course, and should refer to the separate handbook entry for that course for recommendations of suitable mathematics subjects.
The mathematics subjects listed below are either designed specifically with the needs of computing students in mind, or especially recommended as appropriate for computing students. However, other subjects taught by the Department of Mathematics but not listed below may also be taken, subject to approval by the department.
Each subject is listed under the year in which it would most commonly be studied. However, any subject may be taken at any stage of a student's course of study, provided that prerequisites are satisfied.
Some of the subjects listed below are not offered in 1995, but may be offered in 1996. Not every subject is offered on all campuses. Evening classes are conducted only in some subjects, and only on the Caulfield campus. Students wishing to attend evening classes should contact the Department of Mathematics before enrolling, to find out which subjects are available.

Examples of sequences of subjects for a mathematics major or minor
Discrete mathematics sequence
The subjects in this sequence are especially relevant to computing. They provide an understanding of many of the theoretical concepts underlying the topics studied in computer technology and software development.
* First year: Discrete mathematics, Mathematical methods for computing.
* Second and third years: Ten subjects for a major, or four subjects for a minor, chosen predominantly from the discrete mathematics subjects.
Applied statistics sequence
This sequence consists of applied statistics subjects designed primarily for students in the Faculty of Arts, but it is also suitable for computing students who have an interest in the use of computers for statistical data analysis, or who need a statistical basis for their further studies.
* First year: Applied statistics IA (Arts), Applied statistics IB (Arts).
* Second and third years: Ten subjects for a major, or four subjects for a minor, chosen predominantly from the applied statistics subjects.
Management science sequence
The subjects in this sequence provide a quantitative basis for students intending to specialise in decision support systems and systems analysis.
* First year: One of Introduction to calculus and mathematics I, and any other first-year subject.
* Second and third years: Ten subjects for a major, or four subjects for a minor, chosen predominantly from the management science subjects.
Sociology sequence
Details of all sociology subjects (SCY series) can be found in the Faculty of Arts undergraduate handbook.
Sociology looks at industrial societies. It involves the study of groups, communities, institutions and organisations, and the networks of meaning which link individuals and groups to each other and to social structures. The wide range of subjects available is designed to provide opportunities to explore theoretical and methodological issues, to acquire research skills and to develop an understanding of social institutions and processes. Emphasis is placed on giving students an opportunity to further their knowledge and understanding in areas such as prisons, the family, sexuality and gender, the mass media, deviance, education, the Holocaust, class and power in contemporary Australia.
First year sets the pattern for later years. It introduces some of the perspectives, topics and methods of enquiry in the discipline of sociology. The second and third years build on this introduction by offering students the opportunity to examine particular topics in greater depth.
A first-year sequence consists of twelve points of first-year sociology subjects. They will be labelled SCY1nnn.
A minor sequence consists of a first-year sequence plus a minimum of sixteen points of SCY subjects at second-year level.
A major sequence consists of a first-year sequence plus a minimum of five eight-point second and third-year subjects. At least two of these must be at third-year level, that is, have a SCY3nnn subject code, and students are required to select one theory option and one methods option to complete a major sequence.
While the subjects listed below are all offered at Caulfield or Peninsula, it is possible for computing students to study one second- or third-year sociology subject per semester at Clayton campus. Please refer to the Arts undergraduate handbook for details of subjects offered at Clayton.
