Mathematics

Mathematics provides powerful tools for analysis of today's complex world and gives an insight into many significant real-world problems. It lies at the core of logical thinking, problem solving, and data analysis. It helps businesses to run better, identifies patterns in nature and optimises manufacturing processes. Mathematics requires us to think logically and clearly about problems involving numbers, space and relationships. At QUT, you'll learn to apply mathematics to real-world situations using the latest computer technologies, and work with award-winning teaching staff.
