Mathematics is the language of science. It underpins most technological advances that we rely on every day. Studying a Bachelor of Mathematics will give you essential skills and knowledge. Study logic, mathematical modelling, experimental design and data analysis.

The Bachelor of Mathematics attracts the very best problem-solvers. Those who analyse things critically and are eager to make technological discoveries. The computing, maths and technology industries are at the forefront of new thinking, and are central to the way we work, learn, communicate, socialise and entertain ourselves. You will use your skills in technology, creativity and logic to push boundaries and make a difference in society.

Current research is inventing new ways of using existing mathematics as well as creating new mathematics for the future. As part of your structured mathematics major, you will study courses in topic areas such as:

• statistics
