Subject notes
This subject is available for science credit to students enrolled in the BSc (both pre-2008 and new degrees), BASc or a combined BSc course.

Students with a score of 40 or more in VCE Specialist Mathematics 3/4 are strongly encouraged to enrol in either the advanced stream (MAST10022 Linear Algebra: Advanced and MAST10021 Calculus 2: Advanced) or the accelerated stream (MAST10008 Accelerated Mathematics 1 and MAST10009 Accelerated Mathematics 2) instead of the standard stream (MAST10007 Linear Algebra and MAST10006 Calculus 2).

Students with a study score of 29 in VCE Specialist Mathematics 3/4 or equivalent, are eligible to enrol in MAST10005 Calculus 1, MAST10006 Calculus 2 or MAST10007 Linear Algebra. Such students should seek course advice before completing their enrolment.

Students require access to a computer with the software package MATLAB installed. This package is currently available in every open-access campus laboratory.
Students will be expected to use the software package MATLAB but no programming knowledge is expected.
