Note: MTH1020 only counts towards a major in Mathematics. All other majors require MTH1030 and another mathematics and statistics unit – please refer to the particular mathematics area of study for further details.
If you have a strong mathematics background and a keen interest in mathematics you could replace the units MTH1030 and MTH2010 with their advanced versions MTH1035 and MTH2015.
