There
are close links between computing and mathematics. By including some
mathematics subjects in your Bachelor of Computing degree, you will learn
quantitative skills and develop a logical and analytical approach to problem
solving. These skills can deepen your understanding of other subjects, and are
highly regarded by employers.
Any mathematics subject may be taken as an elective, provided that all degree
regulations and subject prerequisites are satisfied.
A
selection of mathematics subjects that may be of interest to computing students
are shown on the following schedule. Other subjects are also available to
students with the appropriate prerequisites; see 'Mathematics and statistics'
in the Science section for more details. Subjects are offered in specialist
areas of mathematics and mathematical statistics, as well as in mathematical
methods.
Most mathematics subjects are only available at Clayton campus, although some
are also offered at Gippsland campus and by distance education mode. The
Department of Mathematics and Statistics can exercise some discretion over
prerequisites; students who think they have the background knowledge to take a
subject but do not have the formal prerequisite should consult the director of
undergraduate studies.
For further information about mathematics subjects, contact the director of
undergraduate studies of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
building 28, Clayton campus.
A minor sequence in mathematics consists of 28 points of mathematics subjects, normally comprised of two six-point subjects at first-year level and four four-point subjects at second-year level. A list of some first and second-year-level mathematics subjects that are suitable for computing students is given below. (For double major students, a minor sequence consists of 20 points, with at least eight points at second-year level or higher.)
A major sequence in mathematics consists of a minor sequence followed by 24 points of study at third-year level. Students who intend to complete a major in mathematics should take particular care when choosing their first and second-year subjects to ensure that they have the appropriate prerequisites for their third-year studies. Information sheets with suggested programs are available from .
The subjects listed below are each worth six points. Prerequisites and details of the objectives, syllabus and assessment are provided in the subject entries listed in the Science section.
Students may also choose to take one or more of the subjects MAT1811, MAT1812 or MAT1830, listed in this handbook.
The subjects listed below are each worth four points. Prerequisites and details of the objectives, syllabus and assessment are provided in the subject entries listed in the Science section.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a broad range of mathematics subjects at third-year level, listed under 'Mathematics and statistics' in the Science section. Many of these subjects are intended for non-specialist third-year studies. Specialist subject areas include algebra, analysis and geometry; applied and computational mathematics, statistics and probability, astrophysics, atmospheric science, fluid dynamics and mathematical geophysics.
The Faculty of Science's Department of Psychology offers students the following subjects which form a major sequence in psychology, with the option of proceeding to a degree with honours or into postgraduate programs. Psychology subjects are taught at the Berwick, Caulfield, Clayton Gippsland and Peninsula campuses. Caulfield offers evening as well as day classes. At Berwick, Gippsland and Peninsula, psychology is offered in flexible learning mode with on-campus tutorial and laboratory classes and lectures taught through study notes and web-based material. Psychology can also be undertaken in distance education study mode through Gippsland campus with the compulsory on-campus attendance requirements being available both at Gippsland and Clayton campuses. Details of all psychology subjects can be found in the Science section of this handbook.

The first-year subjects PSY1011 and PSY1022 provide a general introduction to
the discipline of psychology as a behavioural science, and are a basis for
detailed study of specific areas of psychology in later years. Laboratory
classes enhance students' understanding of the lecture material, while
providing training in research techniques. In second year, the subjects PSY2011
and PSY2022 cover at a more advanced level areas presented in first year. The
laboratory program complements the lecture series, and provides further
training in research techniques, report writing, and oral presentations. The
third-year subjects on each campus cover specific areas of psychology at an
advanced level augmented by laboratory classes, tutorials, workshops, or
seminars. In addition to the core subjects listed above, electives are
available at second and third year.
A minor sequence in sociology is comprised of SCY1010, SCY1020 and any two second-year SCY subjects totalling 28 points of study.
