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 a variety of areas, including calculus, discrete mathematics, and mathematical or applied statistics. It is possible for a student, with only the minimum mathematical background required to enter the Bachelor of Computing course, to 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.
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.
Students who wish to study applied statistics would normally take MAT1711 and MAT1722 in their first year, and subjects with the prefix MAT27 and MAT37 in their second and third years. Students who wish to study other areas of mathematics would normally select from the other subjects listed below.
+ MAT1010 Mathematics I
+ MAT1020 Mathematics II
+ MAT1050 Mathematical methods
+ MAT1060 Statistical methods
+ MAT1470 Discrete mathematics
+ MAT1711 Applied statistics IA (Arts)
+ MAT1722 Applied statistics IB (Arts)
+ MAT2461 Symbolic computation
+ MAT2492 Algorithms and computational complexity
+ MAT2511 Linear programming
+ MAT2532 Forecasting
+ MAT2711 Computer-aided statistical analysis
+ MAT2740 Contemporary data analysis

+ MAT2763 Design and analysis of experiments III
+ MAT2770 Design and analysis of sample surveys
+ MAT2781 Applied multivariate data analysis I
+ MAT2790 Robust and nonparametric methods
Details of MAT1711, MAT1722 and subjects with a MAT27 or MAT37 prefix can be found in the current Faculty of Arts undergraduate handbook.
First-year subjects APY1010 and APY1020 provide a general introduction to psychology as a science, with practical work programs to augment the material provided in the lectures. In second year, APY2010 provides a core program in developmental psychology supplemented by study modules in physiological psychology and research design. APY2020 offers programs of study in personality, social psychology and research design.

Sociology looks at industrial societies. It involves the study of groups, communities, institutions and organisations, and the networks of meaning that 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 inquiry 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. The subject codes will have a prefix of SCY1.
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 subject code with an SCY3 prefix, 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 current Faculty of Arts undergraduate handbook for details of subjects offered at Clayton.
