MATHEMATICSPage 30Mathematical EcologyMany important problems in environmental <strong>and</strong> resource management can be solved with theaid <strong>of</strong> mathematical modelling. A BSc combining mathematics, statistics, <strong>and</strong> biology coursesgives graduates the knowledge <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing to work in this area. There is a broadly basedinterdisciplinary group at the University <strong>of</strong> Queensl<strong>and</strong> working on theoretical <strong>and</strong> practical projectsin ecological modelling.By taking #8 <strong>of</strong> 3rd level courses in the field <strong>of</strong> ecology, <strong>and</strong> #8 <strong>of</strong> 3rd level mathematics or statisticscourses, a student can graduate with a BSc with majors in <strong>Mathematics</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ecology.SECOND YEARSemester 1Key CoursesSTAT2003 Probability & StatisticsBIOL2006 Biostatistics & Experimental DesignBIOL2010 EcologyOther CoursesMARS2011 Indo-Pacific Marine Biodiversity & ConservationMATH2000 a Calculus & Linear Algebra IICOSC2000 Introduction to Computational BiologyBIOL2009 Genetics I: Molecular GeneticsSemester 2Key CoursesMATH2000a Calculus & Linear Algebra IICOSC2500 Numerical Methods in Computational ScienceSTAT2004 Applied Statistical ModellingOther CoursesMATH2100 Applied Mathematical Analysisa<strong>Students</strong> who have not done MATH1052 in first year can do MATH1052 in Semester 1 <strong>and</strong>MATH2000 in Semester 2 <strong>of</strong> their second year.THIRD YEARSemester 1Key CoursesMATH3104 Mathematical BiologyMATH3202 Operations Research & Mathematical ProgrammingMARS3011 Marine EcologyZOOL3002 Animal BehaviourOther CoursesMATH3101 Bifurcation & ChaosSTAT3001 Mathematical StatisticsSTAT3003 Experimental DesignZOOL3006 Fish BiologySemester 2Capstone CourseMATH3500 Problems & Applications in Modern <strong>Mathematics</strong>Key CourseBIOL3000Conservation & Wildlife BiologyOther CoursesBOTN3005 Ecophysiology <strong>of</strong> Australian Plants <strong>and</strong> EcosystemsMARS3001 Coral ReefsSTAT3004 Probability Models & Stochastic ProcessesPr<strong>of</strong>essor Hugh PossinghamRoom 8-266Telephone: +61 (0) 7 3365 9766Email: h.possingham@uq.edu.au
