Mathematics is more than just numbers and letters. It is the ability to problem solve, think logically and identify similar patterns in a variety of applications and contexts. It is also the transcribing of these patterns and relationships into symbolic or abstract form as a mathematical model, making it possible to analyse the patterns, identify the mechanisms that generate them and find solutions to the real-world system or problem that the model represents.

By studying an (applied) mathematics major at RMIT you will learn to think logically, approach problems in analytical and creative ways, and prepare for career opportunities in areas such as banking finance, information security, cybersecurity, public health, logistics, government agencies and research organisations, mathematical biology, and environmental modelling to name a few.
