Modelling continuous change (advanced)

MATHS3016 Modelling continuous change (advanced)

This unit forms part of a general sequence of mathematics units which provides mathematical tools to model phenomena in the physical, engineering, biological and mathematical sciences. It is aimed at an audience with sound mathematical background and interest in solving real world problems. The main focus will be on differential equations, the tools to solve them, and their applications to model motion, growth and change. We will also consider problems whose solution may require both basic and advanced mathematics or statistics techniques. The unit will be particularly valuable to science and engineering students, prospective senior secondary school mathematics teachers, and any student interested in improving their understanding of these commonly encountered concepts and applications of mathematics.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree. To find out more about domestic tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
