Understanding course requirements

Also consider:

Do you have room left for electives? How will you best use thisallowance?

1. Identify your planned future science area(s) of study. Each will

require at least a pair of units in first year.

2. Check the sequence and prerequisite requirements for the units.You can find this information in the handbook:http://monash.edu/pubs/handbooks/

Find out What pair of units you need to complete in first year

Are there any additional requirements?

3. Check you are enrolling in two level-one approved sciencesequences

Understanding course requirements

Students must complete the level one sequences and the

mathematical/statistics requirement at stage (year) one

before progressing to stage (year) two.

ALL students must check the HANDBOOKonline to

familiarise themselves with all course requirements:

Assoc. Prof. Peter Betts


33/47


Why study First Year Geosciences?

To understand how the dynamic Earth formed andevolved chemically, physically and biologically over4.5 billion years to its present state

You want to understand the Earths processes

You will find earthquakes/volcanoes/dinosaurs/rocks/minerals/resources/climate change fascinating

You want a rewarding and fascinating career

You dont want to be shut in an office

You want a high-paying job

Why study mathematical sciences?

Mathematics and statistics provide the language in which all other sciences (as well as

engineering, IT and business) can be described or measured.

"Do as much Mathematics and Statistics as you can in your degrees - these skills will

empower your professional lives." . Sir Gustav Nossal

Experiments Theory

Numbers Equations

Mathematics


37/47


Where will it take you?

Mathematics and statistics will help you to:

Think logically and clearly;

Apply a broad range of problem-solving strategies;

Use data and other quantitative information effectivelyacross a range of scientific and technical disciplines;

Understand our world and universe;

Analyse, model and improve systems;

Study the beauty and perfection of theory in nature and the sciences;

Gain a good starting salary;

Find satisfying employment in the banking, finance and insurance industries, in IT,

in biostatistics, in traffic and transport, in education, at organisations such as the

Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and DSTO,

and much more beyond see http://www.amsi.org.au/careers.

as well as logic and proof. A recommended elective for students with interests in mathematics

(and required for students in computer science).


41/47


Atmospheric Science

Monash University is one of the few places that offers studies

towards a major in Atmospheric Science. This program is offered

jointly with the School of Geography and Environmental Science.

Specialist studies in Atmospheric Science start from level two, but

there is a level-one unit available:

MON1001Climate change: An interdisciplinary challenge

An introduction to the science of climate change, offered in second

semester only. This is an elective and is nota prerequisite for

studying any level-two units in Atmospheric Science.

Prerequisites for level-two Atmospheric Science:

Essential:a level-one mathematics sequence, including MTH1030.

Recommended:one level-one unit in either physics or chemistry.
