Master of Mathematics

The degree can be opted by any student who has taken a major/minor Mathematics course at undergraduate level. It strengthen the mathematical concepts of students, simultaneously prepares them to be a competent mathematician in government or corporate sector. The degree strengthen the mathematical concepts and considered as ideal for professionals who have few years of work experience and are looking forward to upgrade their knowledge and skills. The course structure includes a list of Preparation and Foundations subjects, Elective subjects and lastly, Advanced Topics in either Applied Mathematics or Advanced Topics in Pure Mathematics. Preparation subjects include Multivariate and Vector Calculus, Differential Equations: Analysis and Applications, Linear Algebra and Groups, Complex Variables and Group Theory, Mathematical Modelling, and Real Analysis. Foundation subjects include Mathematics for Cryptography, Enhanced Programs in Differential Equations, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Industrial Mathematical Modelling, Financial Calculus, Operations Research, Numerical Analysis, Algebra, Calculus of Variations and Geometry, Wavelets, Medical Mathematics and Applications, and Applied Probability and Financial Risk. The program also includes a research project for which topics will be suggested by faculty. Sample topics include C*-Algebras, Solutions to Differential Equations by One-Parameter Groups, Non-linear Differential Equations, Algebraic Number Theory. Considering the fact that in a professional setup, a mathematician is engaged in several managerial tasks, UOW has tailored the degree in a way that it includes some subjects from other disciplines. Thus, the graduate of this 96-credit hour program an all-rounder who can work as a successful manager who is also a brilliant mathematician.
