<p>This unit provides students with opportunities to apply the theoretical aspects of their mathematics and analytics studies in a practical application. The student chooses a problem to solve in conjunction with a supervisor from the academic staff.</p>

<p>This unit will provide students with an opportunity to undertake a significant work project based on their prior study in mathematics and statistics. The unit coordinator may allow a team of students to work collaboratively on a project. Each project will have an allocated supervisor. The main emphasis will be on understanding the problem, being aware of the context of the problem, constructing a strategy for solution and communicating the results. The supervisor and unit coordinator will provide guidance in terms of major milestones to help students plan and manage their project. Students may propose their own topic with the agreement of the Unit Coordinator, provided the project is appropriate in scope and level of technical difficulty and the student has secured a supervisor.</p>
