ITWSU1038 Mathematics for Computing
Mathematics forms the backbone of information and communication technology. Video games and multimedia programmers use linear algebra to control movement, actions and animations; analysts depend on number and graph theory to devise models of complex systems; data scientists and machine learning specialists use statistics to train their machine counterparts. The knowledge of mathematics is the difference between a good programmer and a great one. In this subject, we build a foundation of mathematical concepts that computing graduates require for their careers. During tutorials students will use an online interactive system allowing them to interactively explore mathematical concepts.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
