Mathematics and Computer Science
VTAC Course Code -
SHMC2416 (Hawthorn campus)
SLMCl422 (Mooroolbark campus)
This program combines major studies in computer science
with a mathematics major comprising studies in operations
research and applied statistics.
Computer science
Includes the study of programming methodology using the
C programming language, data structures and algorithms,
software engineering, and databases.
Operations research
The scientific study of problems arising in commerce and
industry. Students examine loosely structured practical
problems at an early stage in the program and later work in
groups to undertake real projects for external clients.
Computer methods are used extensively in both the classes
and group work.
Applied statistics
Concerned with the collection and analysis of data. Students
will study statistical methods for sampling, for making
inferences from samples and for modelling data using
methods such as regression. Studies in applied statistics will
equip students with the ability to plan statistical
investigations and to analyse data using specialist statistical
computer packages.
Honours program
Suitably qualified candidates may be admitted to an honours
year.
Multi-modal learning - Mooroolbark
campus
At the Mooroolbark campus this course will be offered in
multi-modal format. Using an individual portable computer,
students will undertake increasing parts of their study
independently. The computer will be a means of instruction,
communication and computation that can be used at home,
on campus or at local study centres. This will lead to a
reduction in the time needed to be spent in formal
instruction on campus.
Industry based learning (IBL)
The optional four-year program is taken in the IBL format
which includes one year of paid work experience.
Career potential
The mathematics and computer science major sequences
provide a valuable preparation for potential operations
researchers, management scientists, project leaders,
statisticians, economic analysts, quality control scientists,
systems analysts, computer scientists and teachers.
Professional recognition
This program is accredited by the Australian Computer
Society as a Level 1 course. Graduates are eligible for
associate membership. After four years of relevant work
experience, a graduate can apply for full membership.
Graduates are also eligible for membership of the Australian
Society of Operations Research after one to two years of
work experience. Students can become student members
while doing the course and then apply for full membership
upon graduation.
Prerequisites (entrance 1994)
Units 1 and 2: four units of mathematics. Units 3 and 4:
two units of mathematics chosen from Space and Number,
Reasoning and Data, Change and Approximation and
Extensions (Change and Approximation).
