Credit points: 100 in total
Coordinator: Dr K Ecker
Students doing joint Honours degrees with other departments should arrange their Mathematics workload with the fourth year coordinator.
Prerequisite: As approved by the co-ordinator.
Objectives:
The Honours program in Mathematics is designed to train mathematics graduates in advanced mathematics topics and to provide an opportunity for students to participate in mathematical research.
Content:
All Mathematics Honours students must complete six subjects of coursework which are listed in the Mathematics fourth year (Honours) Guide. The Honours Guide which is updated every year, is available from the Mathematics Office.Each subject will be of one Semester length and will consist of twenty-six lectures (usually two per week), some or all of which may be replaced by seminars, guided reading or project work. Four subjects will normally be taken in Semester 1 and two subjects in Semester 2. There will be six streams: Analysis, Algebra, Geometry and Topology, Methods and Modelling, Mathematical Physics, Operations Research. Each stream will offer three subjects, two of which will usually be available in Semester 1 and one in Semester 2. Each student will normally take at least two subjects from each of two different streams, one of which will normally be in the same stream as that of the research project.
Seminars: Honours students will be required to give two seminars, before their results are finalised. One seminar will be on a general topic in Semester 1 and the second on their research project in Semester 2. Students should plan these seminars with their supervisors.
Any student may, with permission, study and be assessed in more than six subjects. In determining the final grade, only the best six subjects will be considered.
Assessment:
For all subjects, up to forty pages of written assignments and up to three hours of written and/or oral examinations are required.
