This research course provides an opportunity to undertake a significant study in an area of mathematical Sciences. Areas of research usually reflect research interests of staff in one of the areas of applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, operations research and statistics. Thesis topics are selected from problems of continuing or emerging significance in mathematics and relate strongly to relevant problems arising from local industry and government.

What you'll learn
- demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge in Mathematical Sciences and to reflect critically on that knowledge and its application towards the forefront of the Mathematical Sciences.
- think critically by investigating, analysing, and synthesising complex information, problems, concepts, and theories, undertake systematic investigation and reflect on theory and practice to generate new knowledge.
- present a coherent and sustained argument and to disseminate research concepts, plans and results to the general community, peers, and national and international research community.
- present an investigation of originality or original research for examination against international standards.
- understand the global and cultural issues related to their research and how these issues impact Mathematical Sciences.
- design, implement, analyse, theorise, and communicate research that makes a significant contribution to knowledge and/or professional practice.
