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.
