Start of expanded content Offering all of the key features of the Bachelor of Science – including choice, flexibility and depth across the huge range of science disciplines available at Monash – this advanced version will provide you with both abroad, general science education and specialist training in one or more science disciplines. This will be deepened and strengthened by: the freedom to accelerate more quickly to higher-level units additional flexibility in subject choices research mentoring by leading scientists in your chosen field exclusive extra-curricular programs only available to those taking this course As a graduate, you'll have advanced research skills and a thorough command of your chosen field[s] of science. Add to this our world-class teaching and research, state-of-the-art facilities, and the prestige that comes with an advanced degree from one of Australia's leading science faculties, and you'll find doors opening in government research bodies, in research departments of large companies, and other leading organisations. Mathematics is the universal language used to describe, model, understand and even create aspects of the world around us. The complex and fascinating discipline of mathematics examines numerical, algebraic and analytical structures, and the development of quantitative methods essential for the practice and development of science, engineering, economics and many other fields. Studying at Monash will expose you to cutting-edge developments in mathematics. Our mathematicians are working on many exciting areas, such as mathematical modelling to predict behaviour, analysis using pure mathematics, and stochastic processes involving risk, randomness and change. Start of expanded content In the broadest sense, mathematics helps us recognise patterns and understand the world. It encompasses a wide range of areas, from mathematical methods to statistics to pure mathematics, and its applications are multifaceted and far-reaching. Mathematics and statistics are the two cornerstones for decision-making across a broad range of contexts. Through this major you will develop high-level expertise in the important techniques and processes of mathematics, particularly in advanced calculus and linear algebra. You will acquire the critical thinking skills to analyse and solve problems and use and interpret the mathematics that arises across a range of contexts and applications. You will also be able to present mathematical arguments and communicate mathematical processes and results effectively to diverse audiences. These skills are highly sought after in a wide range of industries. Successful companies and organisations know their competitive edge depends on the analytical and quantitative skills of their workforce, and therefore seek employees with a sound mathematical training. As a graduate your career options are broad, and you might pursue one of the following rewarding occupations: mathematical modeller; data analyst; business analyst; data-mining analyst; environmental-resource modeller; quantitative analyst; statistician; or mathematics teacher, to name a few.
