Rules for completing this course
You must complete: - A maximum of four units at Level 1 (24 credit points); and - A minimum of four units at Level 3 (24 credit points). Mathematics extended major requirements You must complete 72 credit points, comprising; - 42 credit points of Core units; and - 6 credit points of Applied and computational mathematics units; - 6 credit points of Probability and statistics units; - 6 credit points of Pure mathematics units; and - 12 credit points of Additional units.
Additional units
12 cpYou must complete two units (12 credit points) from the following list, or from the units listed above (not already completed).
Pure mathematics unit
6 cpYou must complete one unit (6 credit points) from the following list. Note: If you meet the prerequisites, you may consider replacing MTH3110 and MTH3170 with their advanced units: MTH3115 and MTH3175.

Core units
42 cpYou must complete the following units. Note 1: You complete only one of MTH2140 or MTH3140. If you complete MTH2140 instead of its Level 3 counterpart, MTH3140, none of the Level 2 units listed under Additional units can be counted towards this extended major. Note 2: If you meet the prerequisites, you may consider replacing MTH1030, MTH2010, MTH2021 and MTH2222 with one or more of their advanced units: MTH1035, MTH2015, MTH2025 and MTH2225. Note 3: For Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Computer Science (S2004) double degree students, you must complete MAT1830 or FIT1058 instead of the core unit MTH1110. Note 4: For Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science (E3007) double degree students, you must complete ENG1005 Engineering Mathematics and ENG2005 Engineering Mathematics (Advanced) instead of the core units MTH1030/MTH1035 and MTH2010/MTH2015, respectively.
Probability and statistics unit
6 cpYou must complete one unit (6 credit points) from the following list.

Core unit substitutions and requirements for double degree students
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science (E3007) - You must complete ENG1005 Engineering Mathematics and ENG2005 Engineering Mathematics (Advanced) instead of the core units MTH1030 or MTH1035 and MTH2010 or MTH2015, respectively. - ENG1005 and ENG2005 count towards the requirements of the extended major; however, they do not contribute to the 96 credit points of Science units required for the Bachelor of Science. Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Computer Science (S2004) - You must complete MAT1830 or FIT1058 instead of the core unit MTH1110. - MAT1830 or FIT1058 counts towards the requirements of the extended major; however, they do not contribute to the 96 credit points of Science units required for the Bachelor of Science.
