文理科学士（荣誉学位）-应用数学

数学与统计学院为合格的学生提供应用数学荣誉课程。荣誉年度涵盖的主要应用数学研究领域是天体物理和地球物理建模，金融数学，工业建模，数学生物科学和非线性系统。在统计荣誉计划中，您将在应用数学专业领域中的重大研究项目或论文中，在您所选择主题的专家的指导下进行指导，并可以在整个课程中为您提供指导。您将提交一份体现调查结果的论文，或者撰写一篇涉及您公认的重要性和数学深度的经典问题的论文，并提供自己的批判性评估。您还应参加涉及讲座或研讨会的课程。应用数学的活跃研究领域包括天体物理和地球物理建模，金融数学，工业建模，数
The honours year after the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science is a widely recognised and highly regarded additional year of undergraduate study available to you after you complete your undergraduate course. It's a unique opportunity for you to explore your research potential and put the theory from your undergraduate studies into practice. An honours qualification in science or arts is not only well regarded in academia, but also in industry where laboratory experience and/or a command of complex thought processes are highly sought after. Honours can be undertaken in any area of science or arts, usually in the subject area in which you completed most of your studies. It involves designing a research program in your chosen area of interest in consultation with one or more supervisors. Your research program may include components in more than one area of science or arts (eg. physiology and biology) and depending on the nature of your project you may also have to undertake some courses in experimental design or complete technical training to use a particular piece of equipment.<br><br>The School of Mathematics and Statistics offers an honours program in applied mathematics for eligible students. The main applied mathematics research areas covered in the honours year are Astrophysical and Geophysical Modelling, Financial Mathematics, Industrial Modelling, Mathematical Biosciences and Nonlinear Systems. In the applied mathematics honours program, you will undertake a major research project or essay in a specialised area of applied mathematics, under the direction of a supervisor who is expert in your selected topic and can guide you throughout your course. You will submit a thesis embodying the results of your investigation, or an essay covering a classical problem of acknowledged importance and mathematical depth with you providing your own critical evaluation. You are also expected to undertake teh relevant coursework involving attendance at lectures or seminars. Active research areas in applied mathematics include Astrophysical and Geophysical Modelling, Financial Mathematics, Industrial Modelling, Mathematical Biosciences and Nonlinear Systems.
