Rules for completing this course
You must complete: - a maximum of two units at Level 1 (12 credit points), and - a minimum of three units at Level 3 (18 credit points) Mathematics major requirements You must complete 48 credit points, comprising; - 24 credit points of Core units; and - 24 credit points of Additional units.
Core units
24 cpYou must complete the following units. Note 1: If you meet the prerequisites, you may consider replacing MTH1030, MTH2010 and MTH2021 with one or more of their advanced units listed separately: MTH1035, MTH2015 and MTH2025. Note 2: 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 3: 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.
Additional units
24 cpYou must complete four units (24 credit points) from the following list. Note 1: You can complete only one of MTH2140 or MTH3140. Note 2: You can complete only one of MTH2141 or MTH3141.

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 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 major; however, they do not contribute to the 96 credit points of Science units required for the Bachelor of Science.
