Synopsis


This unit forms the first part of the research component of the MITSc programme,
developed  further  in 64502, 64503 and 64504.  It develops the  foundation  for
ultimately  completing a selected project in applied mathematics, statistics  or
computer  science with the supervision of appropriate staff from the  Department
of  Mathematics and Computing.  The project will consist of review and  research
into  a  well  defined area of mathematics, statistics or computer  science  and
their application.  In this unit, information and ideas for the project will  be
gathered, organised and a preliminary analysis made in a critical and evaluative
manner.   The  topic  of the project will be selected in consultation  with  the
staff of the Department.
