MAP6203 40 Credit Points<br />
Masters Thesis: Arts Research Project 2<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
Prerequisite :<br />
MAP5103 Masters Thesis: Arts Research Project 1<br />
Students will design, direct or produce a major arts project,<br />
culminating in a performance, installation or exhibition. This unit<br />
provides students with the opportunity to develop a multi-arts<br />
theme in a contemporary arts environment, in collaboration with<br />
other students from other arts disciplines. Students will be asked<br />
to research, devise and produce new works of art or approaches to<br />
arts practice. It is expected that this activity will be a<br />
contemporary expression of traditional arts practice and could<br />
frequently be an exploratory work spanning and integrating art<br />
forms. Students will combine the analytical, creative and technical<br />
experiences developed throughout the course. Major project work<br />
will be evaluated by a panel of staff and consultants.<br />

MAS4102 15 Credit Points<br />
Technoculture<br />
FACULTY OF EDUCATION & ARTS<br />
This unit conceptualises communications, community and culture<br />
as patterns of interaction and exchange. It constructs science and<br />
technology in relation to continuing questions of power and<br />
neutrality, gender and ethnicity, equity and access, local and<br />
global. Its objective is to introduce students to perspectives which<br />
will facilitate the critical evaluation of narratives surrounding<br />
technological advance, policy and regulation, and the mediated<br />
production of culture in industrialised societies.<br />
MAT221S 15 Credit Points<br />
Time Series Forecasting<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Students will be provided an introduction to Time Series<br />
Forecasting. It will focus on time series decomposition,<br />
exponential smoothing, regression and Box-Jenkins<br />
models. Students will learn how to choose an appropriate time<br />
series model, apply the model, carry out a diagnostic check of the<br />
model and apply the model for prediction and forecasting.<br />
MAT223T 15 Credit Points<br />
Differential Equations<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This unit introduces students to the theory of ordinary differential<br />
equations and explores a selection of solution methods including<br />
series solutions and Laplace transforms.<br />
MAT225O 15 Credit Points<br />
Optimisation and Networks<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This unit introduces the basic deterministic algorithms that can<br />
assist in the analysis of deterministic optimisation problems and<br />
their use in decision making and planning. The topics covered are<br />
linear programming; dynamic programming and network analysis.<br />
MAT310T 15 Credit Points<br />
Introduction to Geostatistics<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This unit is designed to provide students with an introduction to<br />
the geostatistical techniques used in estimation from spatial data.<br />
Applications will be mainly in the areas of mining, petroleum, soil<br />
science and environmental management.<br />
MAT322W 15 Credit Points<br />
Mathematical Modelling<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Further development of some of the standard techniques of<br />
mathematical modelling including identification of assumptions,<br />
parameters and variables; definition of particular cases; reformulation<br />
of problems; verification and validation of models.<br />
Computer-based techniques will be introduced including nonlinear<br />
curve fitting, generation of data from discrete and<br />
continuous probability distributions and elementary simulation<br />
methods. There is a greater emphasis on problems associated with<br />
planning.<br />
MAT323N 15 Credit Points<br />
Mathematics and Statistics Project<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Students will be provide students with the experience of applying<br />
their mathematics and/or statistics skills to a specific project. The<br />
project is selected from a set of representative projects proposed<br />
and supervised by staff members. The outcome of the project is<br />
presented in the form of a written report and an oral seminar<br />
presentation.<br />
MAT323T 15 Credit Points<br />
Multivariate Calculus<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This unit deals with the calculus of functions of two and three<br />
variables and a selection of topics from vector analysis<br />
MAT331S 15 Credit Points<br />
Biostatistics<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
This unit is designed to introduce students to the principles of<br />
biostatistics. This unit has particular relevance to students<br />
considering working in the Health Sciences. It will also provide<br />
an introduction to biostatistical analyses. The statistical software<br />
SPSS will be used where appropriate.<br />
MAT335P 15 Credit Points<br />
Decision Making and Risk<br />
FACULTY OF COMPUTING, HEALTH AND SCIENCE<br />
Prerequisite :<br />
MAT2251 Optimisation and Networks<br />
This unit examines stochastic techniques frequently used in<br />
management decision making and planning. Topics include,<br />
simulation, game theory, decision analysis and applications of<br />
Markov processes. Extensive use will be made of computer<br />
packages as well as case studies related to planning and business.<br />
MAT4101 15 Credit Points<br />

modelling including identification of assumptions, parameters and<br />
variables; definition of particular cases; re-formulation of<br />
problems; verification and validation of models. Computer-based<br />
techniques will be introduced including non-linear curve fitting,<br />
generation of data from discrete and continuous probability<br />
distributions and elementary simulation methods.<br />
