Mathematical analysis is the branch of mathematics dealing with limits and related theories, such as differentiation, integration, measure, infinite series, and analytic functions. This unit offers studies in Advanced Analysis suitable for Honours level. Topics offered may vary from year to year depending on the available staff and students’ interests. Examples of topics that could be...

This unit is a continuation of KMA152 and KMA154, with emphasis on the application of multivariable calculus and Fourier Series to problems in mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, economics, and engineering. The calculus section of this unit is focussed on dealing with functions of several variables, of which the typical case is z = f(x,y). Functions like this are important because...

This unit is the capstone unit in the professional pathway for the MAppSci (Agricultural Science) course. This unit contains a series of case studies, selected from different areas of agriculture, for example, horticulture, animal production, post-harvest processing, vegetable cropping, dairy, water policy. Within each case study, the student will consider complex problems from an industry...

This unit and KRA709 are the thesis components of the Master of Chemistry.  In this unit, as part of the thesis segment for the Master of Chemistry, students will craft a research thesis built upon the experimental findings and analyses from KRA706 (Chemistry Research Design and Planning) and KRA707 (Chemistry Research Analysis and Presentation). This thesis will undergo evaluation, culminating...

This thesis will undergo evaluation, culminating...

In this unit you will focus on sociological approaches to crime and the criminal justice system with the objective of understanding research and debates about: (i) the criminal justice system (police, courts, corrections); (ii) patterns of crime (measuring crime victims and offenders, white collar crime, violent crime); (iii) the relationship between specific social groups (young people, women...

This unit is intended to provide a background capacity in mathematics of finance and statistical description and analysis, appropriate for a business student. The focus of the unit is on the practical use of data in business and economic decision environments, especially in an environment of risk and uncertainty. The unit is an introduction to the exciting world of applying mathematics and...

This unit introduces students to fundamentals of distributed networked environments, primarily focusing on wired networks but students will examine some of the different approaches in wireless networks. It provides knowledge of internetworking standards and understanding of the networking architecture, technology and operation. This unit will provide students with an understanding of: OSI model...

In this unit, students undertake economic and/or finance research under the supervision of a member of academic staff in the discipline of economics and finance. Students produce a thesis document that reports and discusses findings from their research, which may be of an empirical and/or theoretical nature. Students also make two presentations on their research. The supervision of the research...
