About
B Mathematics attracts the very best problem-solvers – those who analyse things critically and are eager for technological discovery. The maths, technology and computing industries are at the cutting edge of new thinking, and are central to the way we work, learn, communicate, socialise and entertain ourselves.
B Mathematics is a flexible program that enables students to develop mathematical skills and combine them with other disciplines.
Students with an ATAR or equivalent of at least 96.00 and a result in Performance Band 4 for HSC Mathematics Extension 2 have the opportunity to take an accelerated program and complete the program one semester early. The program is very flexible and equips students with a high level of mathematical skill while tailoring the degree to meet their future career intentions.
Areas of study: Applied mathematics, pure mathematics, statistics.
Career opportunities: Algorithm designer, data mining analyst, economic or social statistician, investment banker, stockbroker, nuclear physicist, risk or strategy analyst.
Practical experience: Tutorials and laboratories; fully-equipped Access Grid Room with computers, cameras, projectors, microphones and Smart Boards to enable users to connect with other groups in real time without delays.
Honours: Available as an additional year (or part-time eqv) to meritorious students.

Notes
- Use all ATAR profile data as a guide only; it provides a broad overview of the ATARs and selection ranks of previous Year 12 students admitted into that course. ATARs and selection ranks required for entry in 2019 may be different. If you are unsure about including a course among your preferences, contact the relevant institution.
- This ATAR profile table is in line with Commonwealth Government transparency requirements. It is based on offers to recent school leavers (ie completed Year 12 in 2015 to 2017) who were selected solely or partly on their ATAR. Note that some institutions further differentiate this information on their websites by publishing:
- separate data for 2017 Year 12 students and 2015/16 Year 12 students
- data relating to an entire year's intake (eg all offers made in 2017 – semesters 1 and 2).
- The ATAR values exclude any adjustment factors.
- The selection ranks include the ATAR and any adjustment factors.
