MATHS7002 Computational methods for Data Analysis
This unit is aimed at students who are interested in the application of computational methods to solve various problems in data analysis and in particular, to solve a variety of optimisation problems. In this unit you will be provided with a comprehensive introduction to numerical methods of linear algebra, optimisation and to numerical methods applied to model and solve problems in data science. It would be particularly valuable to prospective data scientists in improving their understanding of basic computational approaches and techniques in data science. This unit can be used by students interested in pursuing more advanced mathematical units, particularly in the areas of Computing, Information Technology and Data Science.
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).
2025 contribution amount* $578
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $578
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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 Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 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.
