NOTES:

The BSc (Advanced Mathematics) degree (3986) takes new students from 2008.
Students currently in plans MATH(A,P,T,D)13972 will have the option to move into it from late 2007.

The following Plans are no longer offered to new students, but existing students may continue in them:
Mathematics and Finance (MATHF13986)
Mathematics and Computer Science (MATHC13972)
New students wanting to study these particular combinations from 2008 will need to enrol in the appropriate Combined Degree.

All courses are taken at the Higher level (where available). Students wishing to take such courses at the ordinary level must make a formal application to vary their program.

Students must maintain a WAM of at least 70 to stay in the Advanced Mathematics (or Science) degrees.

All the MathsStats Plans in Advanced Mathematics (or Advanced Science) may be taken with Arts from 2008.

It is proposed to introduce combined degrees Advanced Mathematics (or Advanced Science) with Commerce and Economics, and possibly with Law and Engineering, sometime in the future.

MATH2060, most electives and all General Education are omitted when taking a combined degree.

This study plan is only available by invitation from the Head of School of Mathematics and Statistics and Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs) of Science. Normally students would not be invited unless they have a UAI of at least 98 and a mark of at least 97 in HSC Maths Extension 2 or have Mathematical Olympiad experience. Students in later years may also be invited to join this plan if their WAM and Maths WAM both exceed 90. Students are able to approach the Head of School if they are interested in being invited to join the plan.

Students will need to maintain a very high level of achievement (normally a WAM and Maths WAM in excess of 90) to stay in this plan.

If a student is not able to continue in the plan for any reason, then they will be transferred to another suitable plan in Advanced Mathematics or major in Science with a variation of program to that plan or major if necessary so that they are not disadvantaged by having taken the High Performance Students Plan.

The selection of courses will be made by the student in consultation with their academic mentor. The choice of courses can be made to suit a student’s interests and may include a mix of Mathematics and other Science Courses and courses from other Schools. The final details require approval of the Head of School of Mathematics and Statistics and the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs) of Science. The outline below is the normal program of study, but may be varied to suit the particular student.
