The result is a stimulating intellectual environment, and an ideal place to undertake higher studies in the mathematical sciences. The PhD and Masters courses in Mathematical Sciences are thesis-based, research only courses. A strong visitor program brings students into contact with leading mathematicians from around the world. The major research interests within the program include applied mathematics, computational mathematics, group theory, mathematical physics, operator algebras, harmonic analysis and functional analysis, partial differential equations and differential geometry, statistics and probability theory, and astrophysics. A diverse range of topics is available for study within these general areas.
Interdisciplinary studies are also possible in association with other graduate programs.
Please contact the graduate program convenor if you have particular topics or areas you are interested in pursuing. The Australian Government has recognised Mathematical Sciences as an area of national importance and graduates are in increasing demand by academic, Government, industrial and commercial employers.
