Mathematics underpins our way of life and our prosperity. Its importance ranges from fundamental developments enabling new technologies, to theories backing up scientific research to analysis of our physical and societal environments. From governments to financial and research institutions, employers today are seeking people with advanced knowledge and skills in mathematics who are able to play a critical role in strategic and analytical decision-making and problem-solving. Start of expanded content The Monash Master of Mathematics is designed for graduates with a bachelor’s degree and a strong foundation in mathematics. A combination of coursework and project work, this program will appeal to students who love mathematics and want to embark on a career in academia. It is also suitable for people who seek to develop and deepen their knowledge and skills in mathematics, and develop the capacity to use them to tackle complex problems in a variety of situations. The flexible coursework offering ensures students can create a program to suit their interests, from pure mathematics that develops the core theory, to statistics and applied and computational mathematics that extend this theory to bring practical solutions to real-world problems. Graduates of the program possess advanced knowledge and skills that make them employable in industry, or prepare them for doctoral studies. The course is structured in three parts: Part A. Foundation studies, Part B. Intermediate studies, Part C. Advanced studies. Part A. Foundation studies (24 points) These studies strengthen the student's foundations in the field of mathematics. Students will choose studies that complement their current knowledge of mathematics, in one or more of the areas of Statistics, or Pure, Applied and Computational mathematics. Students must complete four units (24 points) in mathematics not previously completed in their undergraduate studies, choosing from a range of units including topology, functional analysis and network mathematics. Part B. Intermediate studies (24 points) These studies consolidate the student's knowledge in one or more fields in mathematics. Students can choose from a range of units ranging from advanced graph theory, integer programming to interest rate modelling and must complete four units (24 points). Part C. Advanced studies (48 points) These studies provide students with advanced knowledge in modern theories and applications of mathematics which will enable students to bring innovative solutions to problems within or outside mathematics. Through a research project students will develop project management and independent research skills.
