The discipline
A major sequence is offered in mathematics and modelling and a minor sequence is available in applied statistics.
The mathematics and modelling sequence provides a grounding in mathematical techniques relevant to modelling and problem analysis, spanning continuous and discrete mathematics and both deterministic and stochastic modelling. The applied statistics units cover the design of experiments and surveys and the analysis and interpretation of the data that they yield, emphasising the appropriate choice of techniques and use of computer software. There is an opportunity to combine these disciplines with a sequence of computing or business decision support units. Many employers are looking for graduates with such a range of expertise.

MAT1049 is intended for students without a VCE Year 12 level (or equivalent) background in calculus and related mathematics, and it is broadly equivalent to VCE Mathematical Methods units 3 and 4.
