MATH5271 is available to Honours, Graduate Diploma and Masters programs in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, and Physical Oceanography. 

Units of credit:Ìý6

Pre-requisite: 12 units of credit in Level 2 Maths courses including (MATH2501 or MATH2601) and (MATH2801 or MATH2901), or (both MATH2019/8 and MATH2089), or (both MATH2069 and MATH2099) or equivalent. Some computing experience (R, Fortran, Maple, Matlab, and/or Python) is strongly recommended.

Cycle of offering: No offered every year

Graduate attributes: This course is a graduate level overview of the applications of data science in an environmental context. Although applications and motivations will be drawn primarily from the ocean, atmospheric and climate sciences, the material covered will apply generally across various environmental and non-environmental science and industry areas. 

A key distinction between this course and other data science offerings within the School of Mathematics and Statistics is an emphasis on practical real-world problems.
