THE DEAN'S FOREWORD

Welcome to the new Faculty of Science and Mathematics. In the process of restructuring the management of the University, the Faculty of Mathematics has been dissolved and the Department of Mathematics has now been joined with the Faculty of Science into a newly named Faculty of Science and Mathematics. Mathematics students need have no fears about this rearrangement They will not bedisadvantaged by the change and the new faculty will continue to offer and administer the relevant degrees of the fonner faculties. The enlarged size of this Handbook bears Sb'ong testimony to the truth of that statement. Students will continue to have access toComputer Science and Statistics even though these subjects will now be administered by other facuIties. In the role of Dean of Science, I offer a very warm welcome to the staff and students of the Department of Mathematics and seek their active cooperation under our new banner.

To the newly aniving students in Science and Mathematics may I offer a little advice. The system of instruction at university is vastly different from that in secondary schools. The onus is placed on the student to extract the maximum benefit from the course. University staff will lecture to you and during that time you areexpected to make notes about the material being discussed. Some students respond by trying to take down the lecture verbatim but without understanding, others listen and make notes in outline fonn, copying down quotations or blackboard material, while a minority. overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of the subject matter, simply contemplate their next social engagement to their own disadvantage. Two things are important here. The first is the development of an efficient system of note taking and in this field the Student Counselling Unit provides short courses. The other is that, apart from final examinations, no one follows up your comprehension of the lecture material other than yourself. The facu1ty expects you to spend at least one hour

of your own time on private study forevery contact hour that you have with University staff. You need to allocate this time from the very beginning of your course and if you delay in starting, then the amount of time needed to catch up with your subjects will increase proportionately. A well planned, uniform programme of work to support your lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes will allow you the time to develop your understanding of the subjects and enjoy the many other facets of university life.

If this University has a heart it must surely reside in the Auchmuty Library. The quality of your tertiary education depends upon your ability to make efficient use of this vital facility. Make sure you take part in the orientation programmes which the Library staff offer at the beginning of every year. Throughout your course the teaching staff of the University are here toguide you along the path of self-education and if you need assistance it is available at a numberoflevels. Difficulties with particular subjects should be discussed with the lecturer concerned or the Year Supervisor in the relevant Department. Problems with your degree structure and progression are the province of the Dean and Sub-Deans who will provide guidance when required. Day to day changes in your current enrolment are handled by the Faculty Secretary who can be found in the Student Administration Office.

In a climate when government charges for tertiary education are set to rise steeply, you must make the most of your time at University by using its resoW"ceS to the full. Learn to organize your thoughts, expand your mind. and develop your critical faculties to the utmost in order to provide yourself with qualifications which which will lead toa successful and satisfying career.

FACULTY INFORMATION

The Faculty of Science and Mathematics comprises the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics. Physics and Psychology_ The Departments of Electtical Engineering & Computer Science, Geography and Statistics also offer major sequences of qualifying subjects for the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Mathematics in the Faculty of Science and Mathematics.

Information for New Undergraduates Students embarking on a university course for the first time may find somedifficuity in adapting to the new environment. Tertiary education makes a number of demands on students: it requires them to be self-disciplined. organized. self-motivated and moreover, responsible for their own course of study. Hence it is important that students become familiar with the University structure. degree courses offered and service organizations (such as the University Counselling Service& Accommodation Service etc.) which offer assistance with study, personal and housing problems.

Often students on first entering University are not certain of their fmal field of interest. In fact, itis usually only afterthecompietion of the first year of study that many students finally choose to major in a particular subject. In order to maintain flexibility frrst year subjects (PART I subjects) should be chosen from areas where the student has some previous expertise or special interest. At thesame time. they should take noteof thedegree requirements. particularly with regard to compulsory subjects, advisoryl compulsory prerequisites and corequisites as set out in the appropriate degree/diploma regulations in this handbook.

Students should note that degrees must be structured to include at least two PART III subjects. For example, a Bachelor of 6

Science degree may include aPART III Physics subject and a PARTIIIMathematicssubject.SubjecttotheDean'spermission, a candidate for the degree of Baclielor of Science is, in general, permitted to enrol in one subject from amongst those offered by another Faculty and in special circumstances may enrol in up to three subjects from another Faculty. Similarly ,acandidate forthe degree of Bachelor of Science (psychology) may count up to two subjects offered in other degree courses and a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Mathematics may enrol in up to four subjects from another Faculty.

Time limits are set on the duration of an undergraduate course as indicated in the appropriate regulations. Maximum workloads are also preset, since limits are placed on the number of subjects students are permitted to undertake in anyone year. For information on these restrictions consult the appropriate degree regulations.

Advice Students requiring specific advice on the selection or content of subjects in the course should seek help from members of the Faculty. In particular, advice should be sought from first, second and third year subjectco-ordinators in each department, Heads of Departments, the Sub-Deans or Dean.

Enquiries regarding enrolment, variation to programme and general administrative problems should be directed to the Faculty Secretary, McMullin Building.

For personal counselling and study skills training it is suggested that students should consult the University Counse1ling Service.

Student Participation in University Affairs Provision is made for students to be elected as members on Departmental and Faculty Boards as well as to other University

SECTION TWO

bodies. Elections of student members usually takes. place early in first tenn and students should watch Departmental notice boards for details of election of student members.

TheFacultyBoardoftheFacultyofScienceandMathematicshas provision for the election of four student members.

Subject Timetable Clashes Students are strongly advised to check on possible timetable clashes before enrolling. Clashes may force students to take those subjects in different years. Although academic staff are always willing to advise students, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that chosen subjects may be studied concurrently. Science and Mathematics students taking subjects from other faculties must examine the timetable to ensure that clashes do not exist in their proposed courses.

Note:

Although the timetable for one particular subject may clash with that of another, this may not necessarily mean that this combination cannot be done. Often an arrangement can be made by one or both Departmental representatives to overcome this problem. Therefore, see the Departmenlal representatives before deciding upon your final subject combinations.

Role of Faculty Board, Faculty of Science and Mathematics The role of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics is defined by By-Law 2.4.4, which states:

"Subject to the authority of the Council and the Senate and to any resolution thereof, a Faculty Board shall:

(a) encourage and supervise theteachingandresearch activities of the Faculty;

(b) determine the natureand ex tent of examining in the subjects in the courses of study for the degrees and diplomas in the Faculty;

(c) determine the grades of pass to beawarded and theconditions for gaining deferred or special examinations in respect of the subjects in the courses of study for the degrees and diplomas in the Faculty;

(d) detennine matters concerning admissions, enrolment and progression in the courses of study for the degrees and diplomas in the Faculty and make recommendations on such of those matters as require consideration by the Admissions Committee;

(e) consider the examination results recommended in respect of each of the candidates for the degrees and diplomas in the Faculty and take action in accordance with the Examination Regulations made by Council under By-Law 5.9.1;

(f) deal with any matter referred to it by Senate;

(g) make recommendations to Senate on any matter affecting the Faculty;

(h) exercise such other powers and duties as may from time to time be delegated to it by the Council".

FACULTY INFORMATION

Student Academic Progress All students are reminded of the need to maintain satisfactory progress and, in particular, attention is drawn to the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress. The following should be bome in mind.

1. The Faculty Board requires that students shall pass at least one subject in their first year of full-time attendance or in their first two years of part-time attendance.

2. The Faculty Boardrequires that students shall pass at least four subjects at the end of the frrst two years of full-time attendance or four years of part-time attendance.

3. The Faculty Board has determined that a student who fails a subject twice shall not be pennitted to include that subject in his future programme, and that a student who fails two subjects twice shall be excluded from further enrolment in the Faculty, in each case unless he shows cause to the satisfaction of the Faculty Board why he should be pennitted to do so.

4. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, above, the Faculty Board may review the academic progress of student in the later years of the course.

5. Students should note that a tenninating pass can be awarded only for a Part I or Part II subject and that no more than two terminating passes may count in a student's programme (with no more than one at Part II level.)

Note:

Where there is a change in attendance status, two part-time years will be taken as the equivalent of one full-time year for the purposes of this policy.

Advisory Prerequisites for Entry to the Faculty There are no prescribed prerequisites for entry to the Faculty of Science and Mathematics; students are advised that lectures will commence on the assumption thatall students will have achieved the level indicated below.

Subjects which will enable entry into the Faculty of Science and Mathematics inc1ude four units selected from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (3-unit course preferred), and 4-unit Science. For entry into the Bachelor ofMathematicsdegree.include2-unitmathematics(3-unitcourse preferred) and one other subject recognised for admission purposes. The subjects should be presented as 2-unit courses w ith a result in the top 50%.

Faculty Policy in Regard to Standing for Diploma Courses Completed at a CAE Where an applicant has been awarded a Diploma by a recognised College of Advanced Education, the Faculty Board may be willing to approve some standing in the degree programme. For anapprovedC.A.E.coursewhichhasinvolvedstudyoveratleast three full-time years in a relevant field, the requirements for admission to the ordinary degree of Bachelor of Science may be satisfied by the completion of two major sequences in Science. i.e. two Part I subjects, two Pan II subjects and two Pan III subjects, with the two sequences being drawn, in most cases, from two different diSCiplines. 8

FACULTY INFORMATION

Mathematics Courses Mathematics courses are currently offered under the degree regulations as in previous handbooks for those srudents who had enrolled in previous years. Students should note that it is possible in the Bachelor of Mathematics degree course, to do complet~ major sequences in Mathematics and Computer Science, or in Mathematics and Statistics, as well as combining Mathematics with another discipline, as set out in the Regulations.

Transition Arrangements

The subject and topic prerequisites which apply to various subjects in Mathematics are set out in this handbook. However students who had enrolled in previous years should, befo~ completing their enrolment, consult with the Dean and/or the Head of the Department of Mathematics if they are in doubt.

Degrees Which Include Mathematics Subjects Mathematics subjects may be taken in any degree course in the University.

Mathematics majors exist in the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Economicsand Commerce as wellas thisFaculty ,and substantial amountsofMathematics arerequired in theFaculty of Engineering.

There are two major sequences in Mathematics. These are:

(i) Mathematics I. Mathematics IIA plus Mathematics IIC, followed by Mathematics IlIA.

(ii) Mathematics I, Mathematics IIA, Mathematics I1IB.

AswdentwishingtospecialiseinMathematicsasadoublemajor would take the sequence Mathematics I, Mathematics ITA plus Mathematics IIC, Mathematics IlIA plus Mathematics I1IB as five of the nine subjects for the degree.

Combined Degrees As set out in the regulations, srudents of sufficient ability may take a Bachelor of Mathematics degree combined with another degree from this or another Faculty together, at a considerable saving in time compared with taking them sequentially. Details are set out later in these notes.

Choice of SUbjects in the Bachelor of Mathematics Degree The requirements for the Bachelor of Mathematics degree allow for up to four of the nine subjects to be chosen from the subjects offered in other degree courses. Subjects which have been approved in the past are listed below.

Economics lIB -This subject would not nonnally be included in the Bachelor of Mathematics course. However if pennission is given to include this subject then the content should be discussed with the Dean.

A student may not include both Physics IA and Physics lB.

Pennission will nonnally be given for the inclusionjp a srudent's course of subjects which are prerequisites or corequisites of subjects appearing in the schedules.

Mathematics with One Other Discipline Although there is a wide range of optional subjects in the degree course for the Bachelor of Mathematics it is essential that these be chosen with care, especiaUy by those candidates who aim to apply Mathematics to some specific discipline. In many such cases it is essential to include certain Part I subjects in the frrst year of the degree course if itis to becompleted in minimum time. Examples of programmes are given below; the list is not exhaustive and students are invited to consult the Dean concerning other possible programmes. including part-time programmes.

Mathematics Subject Descriptions The Department of Mathematics offers and examines subjects, most being composed of topics, each single-unit topic consisting ofabout27 lectures and 13 tutorials. Each of the PartI,Part II and Part III subjects consists of the equivalent of four single-unit topics. For Mathematics I, Mathematics IS, Mathematics l02and Mathematics IICS there is no choice of topics; for Mathematics IIA, lIB and IIC there is some choice available to students; for Mathematics IlIA and IIIB there is a wider choice. No topic may be counted twice in making up distinct subjects.

Progressive Assessment with respect to Mathematical Subjects

From time to time during the year students will be given assignments, tests,etc. Where a student's perfonnance in the year has been bener than that student's performance in the final examination, then the year's work will be taken into account in detennining the final result. On the other hand, when a student's performance during the year has been worse than that student's performance in the final examination, then the year's work will be ignored in detennining the fmalresult. However, perfonnance during the early part of the year is taken into account when considering a student's programme for "unsatisfactory progress".

Course Coordinators are appointed each year. The Mathematics Departmental Office can direct students to the appropriate person.

661200 MATHEMATICS IS

Mathematics IS is unsuitable for students who have achieved better than 110 out of 150 in 3-Unit Mathematics at the HSC.

This subject is designed to help the students who are likely to find great difficulty in passing Mathematics I. The Mathematics Deparunent strongly recommends that students who have done only 2-unit mathematics, or 3-unit mathematics with a mark of less than 110 in Ute Higher School Certificate, should enrol in MathematicsIS raUterthan in MathematicsI. Thisisrecommended because of the very high failure rate for such students in Mathematics I.

Mathematics IS consists of one half of Mathematics I. namely the calculus, statistics and computing sections, some revision work in basic school mathematics. and some work introductory to the remaining algebra and analysis sections of Mathematics I. It has 6 hours oflectures and tutorials a week for the full year, the same as Mathematics I. It is taught in small groups, where the students have more supervised practice in solving problems than is possible in Mathematics I.

Students wishing to proceed to a second year mathematics subject after they have passed Mathematics IS, must then pass Mathematics 102, which consists of the remaining algebra and 38

MATHEMATICS SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS

analysis sections of Mathematics I. These students may count Mathematics IS and Mathematics 102, as the equivalent of the full subject Mathematics I, in their degree.

It is possible for students enrolled in a BA or BSc to count Mathematics IS as afull subject in their degree, though itdoes not qualify these students to enter a second year mathematics subject.

Examination One paper after first semester and one paper after second semester.

SECTION FOUR

Content As for the topics Algebra and Real Analysis in Mathematics I. Note:

Mathematics IS is not a sufficient prerequisite for any further Mathematics subjects, except Mathematics 102. However, Mathematics IS followed by Mathematics 102 is acceptable as a prerequisite in all cases where Mathematics I as acceptable as a prerequisite.

PART n MATHEMATICS SUBJECTS

The Department offers three Part II Mathematics subjects. The subject Mathematics ITA is a pre- or corequisite for Mathematics IIC, and IIA is a prerequisite for both Mathematics IlIA and IIIB. Students who wish to include Mathematics iliA in their third year programme must succeed in both Mathematics ITA and I1C.

The Department also offers the subject Mathematics TICS (jointly with the Department of Statistics).

When selecting topics for Part II subjects, students areadvised to consider the prerequisites needed for the various Part III topics offered in the Department of Mathematics.

ENROLMENT OF NEW STUDENTS

Persons offered enrolment are required to attend in person at the Great Hall early in February to enrol and pay charges. Detailed instructions are given in the Offer of Enrolment.

TRANSFER OF COURSE

Students currently enrolled in an undergraduate Bachelor degree course who wish to lransfer to a different undergraduate Bachelor degree course (excluding Medicine) must complete an Application for Course Transfer fonn and lodge it with their Application for Re-enrolment at the Student Administration Office by 6 January 1989.

RE-ENROLMENT BY CONTINUING STUDENTS

There are four steps involved for re-enrolment by continuing students: • collection of the re-enrolment kit • lodging the Application for Re-enrolment form with details of your proposed programme • attendance at the Great Hall for enrolment approval. and • payment of the General Service Charge.

(Students who are in research higher degree programmes re-enrol and pay charges by mail).

Re_Enrolment KIts Re-enrolmentkits for 1989 will be sentout at the beginning of December . There-enrolment kit contains the student' s Application for Re-enrolment fonn. the 1989 Class Timetable. the Statement of Charges Payable for 1989 and re-enrolment instructions.

Lodging ApplIcation for Re-Enrolment Forms The Application for Re-enrolment fonn must be completed carefully and lodged at the Student Administration Office by 6 January 1989. Students should know their examination results before completing the re-enrolment fonn. Thereisno late charge payable if the form is late, but it is very important that the Application for Re-enrolment fonn is lodged by 6 January 1989 as late lodgement will mean that enrolment approval will not be possible before the late re+enrolment session.

Enrolment Approval All re-enrolling students (except those enrolled in the BMed) are required to attend at the Great Hall on a specific date and time during the period 14-17 February 1989. Enrolment Approval dates are on posters on University Noticeboards and are included in the enrolment kits issued to students in December. When attending for Enrolment Approval students will collect their approved 1989 programme and student card. Any variations to the proposed programme require approval. Enrolments in tutorial or laboratory sessions will be arranged. Staff from academic Departments will be available to answer enquiries.

A service charge of $10.will be imposed on students who re-enrol after the specified date.

Payment of Charges The re-enrolment kit issued to re-enrolling students includes a Statement of Charges Payable form which must accompany the payment of charges for 1989. These charges may be paid at any time after receiving the re+ enrolment kit

All charges, including debts outstanding to the University. must be paid before orupon re-enrolment - part payment of total amount due wi11 not be accepted by the cashier.

Payment by mail is encouraged~ alternatively by cheque or money order lodged in the internal mail deposit box outside the Cashier' s Office in the McMullin Building. The receipt will be mailed to the student.

Payment by cash at the Cashier's Office may lead to queues at enrolment time.

The Cashier's Office will be open for extended hours during the enrolment approval sessions in the period 14-17 February 1989. Afterwards any further payment should be by mail only.

LATE PAYMENT

Payment of the General Services Charge is due before or upon reenrolment. The final date for payment is the date of the Re-enrolment Approval session for the course concemed in the period 14-17 February 1989. after which a late charge applies at the rate of

$10 if payment is received up to and including 7 days after the due date;

$20 if payment is received between 8 and 14 days after the due date; or

$30 if payment is received 15 or more days after the due date.

Thereafter enrolment will be cancelled if charges remain unpaid by 31

March.

STUDENT CARDS

When attending for Enrolment Approval. students will be given their Approved Programme form which incorporates the Student Card. The Student Card should be carried by students when at the University as evidence of enrolment. The Student Card has machine readable lettering

ADVICE AND INFORMATION

for use when borrowing books from the University Library. and contains the student's interim password for access to facilities of the Computing Centre.

Students are urged to take good care of their Student Card. If the card is lost or destroyed. there is a service charge of $5 payable before the card will be replaced.

A student who withdraws completely from studies should return the Student Card to the Student Administration Office.

RE-ADMISSION AFTER ABSENCE

A person wishing to resume an undergraduate degree course who has been enrolled previously at the University of Newcastle. butrwtemolled in 1988. isrequired to apply for admission again through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Centre, Locked Bag 500 Lidcombe 2141. Application forms may be obtained from the UCAC or from the Student Administration Office and close with the UCAC on 30 September each year. There is a $50 fee for late applications.

ATTENDANCE STATUS

A candidate for any qualification other than a postgraduate qualification who is enrolled in three quarters or more of anonnal full-time programme shall be deemed to be a full-time student whereas a candidate enrolled in either a part-time course or less than three-quarters of a full-time programme shall be deemed to be a part-time student.

A candidate for a postgraduate qualification shall enrol as either a fulltime or a part-time student as determined by the Faculty Board.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Students areresponsible for notifying the Student Administration Office in writing of any change in their address. A Change of Address fonn should be used and is available from the Student Administration Office.

Failure to notify changes could lead to important correspondence or course infonnation not reaching the student. The University cannot accept responsibility if official communications fail to reach a student who has not notified the Student Administration Office of a change of address. It should be noted that examination results wiD be available for collection in the Drama Workshop in mid December. Results not collected willbe mailed to students. Students who will be away during the long vacation from their regular address should make arrangements to have mail forwarded.

CHANGE OF NAME

Students who change their name should advise the Student Administration Office. Marriage or deed poll certificates should be presented for sighting in order that the change can be noted on University records.

CHANGE OF PROGRAMME

Approval must be sought for any changes to the programme for which a student has enrolled. This includes adding or withdrawing subjects. or changing attendance status (for example from full-time to part-time)

All proposed changes should beentered on the VarialionojProgrfll'1U11£ section of your Approved Programme fonn. Reasons for changes and where appropriate documentary evidence in the form of medical or other appropriate certificates must be submitted.

In the case of the B.Med. degree the following applies:

at the completion of an academic year, a candidate whose performance is deemed by the Faculty Board to be satisfactory may be granted leave of absence under such conditions as the Faculty Board may determine. Such leave will not normally be granted for more than one year.

Application for re-admission to undergraduate degree courses must be made through the UCAC (see p iii).

ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES

Where a student's attendance or progress has not been satisfactory, action may be taken under the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress.

In the case of illness or absence for some other unavoidable cause, a student may be excused for non attendance at classes.

All applications for exemption from attendance atdasses must be made in writing to the HeadoftheDcpartmentoffering the subject. Where tests or term examinations have been missed, this fact should be noted in the application.

iv

The granting of an exemption from attendance at elasses does not cany with it any waiver of the General Services Charge.

GENERAL CONDUCT

In accepting membership of the University, students undertake to observe the by-laws and other requirements of the University.

Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a seemly fashion. Smoking is notpennittedduring lectures, in examination rooms or in the University Library. Gambling is forbidden.

Members of the academic staff of the University, senior administrative officers, and other persons aulhorised for the purpose have authority to report on disorderly or improper conduct occurring in the University.

NOTICES

Official University notices are displayed on the notice boards and students are expected to be acquainted with the contents of those announcements which concern them.

A notice board on the wall opposite the entrance to Lecture Theatre B is used for the specific purpose of displaying examination time-tables and other notices about examinations.

STUDENT MATTERS GENERALLY

The main notice board is the display point -ror notices concerning enrolment matters, scholarships, Universityrules and travel concessions, etc. This notice board is located on the path between the Union and the Library.

Examinations Tests and assessments may be held in any subject from time to time. In the assessmentof a student's progress in a university course, consideration will be given to laboratory work, tutorials and assignments and to any term or other tests conducted throughout the year. The results of such assessments and class work may be incorporated wilh those of formal written examinations.

EXAMINATION PERIODS

Formal written examinations take place on prescribed dates within the following periods:

Mid Year: 5 to 23 June, 1989

End of Year: 6 to 24 November, 1989

Timetables showing the time and place at which individual examinations will be held will be posted on the examinations notice board near Lecture Theatre B (opposite the Great Hall).

Misreading of the timetable will not under any circumstances be accepted as an excuse for failure to attend an examination.

SITTING FOR EXAMINATIONS

Formal examinations, where prescribed, arecompulsory. Students should consult the final timetable in advance to find out the date, time and place of their examinations and should allow themselves plenty of time to get to the examination room so that they can take advantage of the 10 minutes reading time that is allowed before the examination commences. Fonnal examinations are usually held in the Great Hall area and the Auchmuly Sports Centre. The scat allocation list for examinations will be placed on the Noticeboard of the Department running the subject, and on a noticeboard outside the examination room. Students can take into any examination any writing instrument, drawing instrument or eraser. Logarithmic tables may not be taken in: they will be available from the supervisor if needed. Calculators are only allowed

1 ,

J u

if specified as a pennitted aid. They must be handheld, battery operated and non-programmable' and students should note that no concession will be granted:

(a) to a student who is prevented from bringing into a room a programmable calculator;

(b) to a student who uses a calculator incorrectly; or

(c) because of battery failure.

RULES FOR FORMAL EXAMINATIONS

Regulation 15 of the Examination Regulations sets down the rules for formal examinations, as follows:

(a) candidates shall comply with any instructions given by a supervisor relating to the conduct of the examination;

(b) before the examination begins candidates shall not read the examination paper until granted permission by the supervisor which shall be given ten minutes before the start of the examination;

(c) no candidate shall enter the examination room after thirty minutes from the time the examination has begun;

(d) no candidate shall leave the examination room during <he first thirty minutes or the last ten minutes of the examination;

(e) no candidate shall re-enter the examination room after he has left it unless during the full period of his absence he has been IDlder approved supervision;

(f) a candidate shall not bring into the examination room any bag, paper, book, written material, device or aid whatsoever, other than such as may be specified for the particular examination;

(g) a candidate shall not by any means obtain or endeavour to obtain improper assistance in his work, give or endeavour to give assistance to any other candidate, or commit any breach of good order;

(h) a candidate shall not take from the examination room any examination answer book, graph paper, drawing paper or other material issued to him for use during the examination;

(i) no candidate may smoke in the examination room.

Any infringement of these rules constitutes an offence against discipline.

EXAMINATION RESULTS

Examination results and re-enrolment papers will be available for collection from the Drama Studio in December. The dates for collection will be put on noticeboards outside the main examination rooms in November.

Results not collected will be mailed.

No results will be given by telephone.

After the release of the annual examination results a student may apply to have a result reviewed. There is a charge of $8.00 per subject, which

, is refundable in the event of an error being discovered. Applications for review must be submitted on the appropriate form together with the prescribed review charge by 15 January 1989. However, it should be noted that examination results are released only after careful assessment of students' performances and that. amongst other things, marginal failures are reviewed before results are released.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

All applications for special consideration should be made on the Application for Special Consideration fonn. Relevant evidence should be attached to the application (see Regulation 12(2) of the Examination Regulations. Calendar Volume 1). Also refer to Faculty Policy.

, A programmable calculator will be permitted provided program cards and devices are no/ lolcen into the examination room.

UNSATISFACI'ORY PROGRESS

Application forms for Special Consideration are available from the Student Administration Office and the University Health Service. Before a student's application for special consideration will be considered on the ground of personal illness it will be necessary for a medical certificate to be furnished in the form set out on the Application.

If a student is affected by illness during an examination and wishes to ask for special consideration, he or she must report to the supervisor in charge of the examination and then make written application to the Secretary within three days of the examination (see Regulation 12(3) of the Examination Regulations, Calendar Volume 1). Also refer to Faculty Policy.

Applicants for special consideration should note that a Faculty Board is not obliged to grant a special examination. The evidence presented should state the reason why the applicant was unable to attend an examination or how preparation for anexamination was disrupled.1fthe evidence is in the form of a medical certificate the Doctor should state the nature of the disability and specify that the applicant was unfit to attend an examination on a particular day or could attend but that the performance of the applicant would be affected by the disability. If the period of disability extends beyond one day the period should be stated.

DEFERRED EXAMINATIONS

The Boards of the Faculties of Architecture, Engineering, and Mathematics may grant deferred examinations. Such examinations, if granted, will be held in January-February andcandidatcs will be advised by mail of the times and results of the examinations.

Unsatisractory Progress The University has adopted Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress which are set out below.

Students who become liable for action under the Regulations will be informed accordingly by mail after the release of the End of Year examination results and will be informed of the procedure to be followed if they wish to 'show cause'.

Appeals against exclusion must be lodged together with Application for Re-enrolment forms by Friday 6 January 1989.

The Faculty's progress requirements are set out elsewhere in this volume.

McMullin Building may also be used. Payment should be addressed to the Cashier, University of Newcastle. NSW 2308. Cheques and money

orders should be payable to the University of Newcastle. Cash payment must be made at the Cashier's Office 1st Floor McMullin Building between the hours of 10 am to 12noonor2 pm [04 pm. Thesehours will

be extended in February.

HIGHER EDUCATION CONTRIBUTION SCHEME (HECS)

Legislation for the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) is still to be considered by Parliament and it is therefore possible that changes will be made to the proposed scheme before it is introduced. The information provided below is intended to assist students who will be

enrolling at the University in 1989.

Remember changes may occur before you enrol.

CHARGES

The Scheme will replace the Higher Education Administration Charge which has applied since 1987. The intention of the proposed HECS is to make higher education students contribute towards the cost of their education. 'This will provide f\Blds for additional students and possible

increases in Austudy payments.

All students, apart from some exemptions, enrolled in institutions of higher education in 1989 will be liable under HECS.

Exemption from payment of the HEC applies as follows:

a fee-paying student in a "fees-approved postgraduate award course"

a student in a "basic nurse education course"

a "full-fee-paying overseas student"

a "student who has paid the Overseas Student Charge"

a "fully sponsored overseas student"

a student in an ""enabling course"

a student in a "non-award course"

Your liability will depend on the equivalent fun-time student unit vallie

you generate in a semester taken at 31 March and 31 August.

It should be noted that if you withdraw after one of the above dates your liability will stand for the respective semester.

In 1989 the charge for a normal full-time programme will be $1 ,800 for

the year or $900 for the semester. This amount will be indexed eachycar

in accordance with the consumer price index.

Students will have achoiceof payment options at the time of emolment

and the Scheme would be administered as part of the normal enrolment process of institutions.

On enrolment students:

(a) will prov ideevidence of exemption from the Scheme and be enrolled, with details of their exempt status being recorded by the institution for subsequent reporting to the Department of Employment. Education and

Training or

(b) can elect to pay up· front (gaining a discount of 15%), in which case

they would do so as part of their enrolment; students electing to pay upfront for the second semester would beasked todo so at theconunencement

of the second semester; or

(c) can elect to pay through the tax system, in which case they would

either provide a tax file number or apply for a tax file number as part of their enrolment; institutions would be required [0 ensure that the information given by students on their tax file number application is the same as that on their enrolment forms and this would be taken by the Australian Taxation Office.

Students opting for (b) or (c) will be able in each semester to choose between paying up-front for that semester or having their liability

debited from their tax file.

If you elect to pay through the tax system you will not be required to make a payment towards your contribution until your taxable income reaches a minimum of $22,000. This minimum level will be increased

in line with the consumer price index each year.

At enrolment time each student will be required to complete a fonn which will indicate if the student is claiming exemption or the preferred

method of payment.

SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS AND SPONSORED STUDENTS

Students holding scholarships or receiving other fonns of financial assistance must lodge with the Cashier their Statement of Charges Payable form together with a warrant or other written evidence that charges will be paid by the sponsor. Sponsors must provide a separate voucher warrant or letter for each student sponsored.

vii

CAMPUS TRAFFIC AND PARKING

LOANS

Students who do not have sufficient funds to pay charges should seek a loan from their bank. building society, credit union or other financial institution. Applications for a loan from the Student Loan Fund should be made to Mr. 1. Birch, Student Adminislration Office. Arrangements should be made well in advance to avoid the risk of a late charge.

REFUND OF CHARGES

A refund of the General Services Charge paid on enrolment or part thereof will be made when the student notifies the Student and Faculty Administration Office of a complete withdrawal from studies by the following dates.

Notification on or before 24th February 1989 l(}()1'1o refund.

Notification on or before 10th March 1989

Notification on or before 23rd June 1989

90% refund.

50% refund.

After 23rd June 1989 No refund. A refund cheque will be mailed to a student or if applicable a sponsor. Any change of address must be advised.

A refund will not be made before 31 March 1989.

HIGHER DEGREE CANDIDATES

Higher degree candidates are required to pay the General Services charge and Union Entrance charge, if applicable. Where the enrolment is effective from Firstor Second Semester, the General Services charge covers the period from the first day of the term to the Friday immediately preceding the flIst day of First Term in the following academic year. Where enrobnent is on or after the first day of Third Term, the General Services charge paid will cover liability to the end of the long vacation following the next academic year.

Human Ecology

This course is an introduction to the study of human seulements through the theories and methods of human ecology. These approaches have been a part of the study of human settlement during the past 70 years. Human ecology studies the spatial and temporal interactions between people and their environment, typicallythebuiltenvironment Thecoursefollowsasyneoological approach, being concerned with the processes and patterns associated with rather large numbers of people ahd not with small groups or individua1s. Topics covered include: systems, infonnation and communication as basic structuring elements of settlement ecosystems. ekistics, classical human ecology, neoclassical ecology, the census as a data source for ecological anIDyses. social area analysis, factorial ecology and the human ecology of cities in Asia and South America

Environment and Behaviour

This course introduces students to the study of human behaviour and the environment within which behaviour occurs. Concern is with overt, observable behaviour in real life seuings rather than in controlled. experimental settings. The course is presented in four more or less equal length sections. The fIrst section considers the so-called time-geographic approach developed at the University of Lund in S'Yeden and further developed through applications at the University of Ca1ifomia, Berkeley. Here the context of every day life is studied within a framework of biological, regulatory and linkage constraints. The second section considers aspects of environmental perception, in particular the 'mental maps' of places and the manners in which behaviour might relate to such images. The third section introduces a field of study known variously as ecological psychology, environmental psychology and behavioural ecology. Interest here is on ways and means of studying human behaviour in the physical setlingof the real world. The f'ma1 section considers aspects of the behaviour of physica1ly disabled people. particularly the visually impaired, and the innuenceof environment on that behaviour as wen as the development of tactile mapping aids and other information devices to aid geographical mobility.

Human Ecosystems of Northern Australia and the Arid Lands

The AustmJian arid lands, including northern Austra1ia as the area north of the 26th parallel, occupy over75% of the mainland. The course introduces students to selected human ecosystems in this vast region. Human ecosystems are those that are managed (or mismanaged) by human intervention. Particular emphasis is placed on the remote communities and the studies by CSIRO's Remote Communities Unit. Other ecosystems given emphasis are the tourism and rangeland ecosystems of central and northern Australia. The perception of desertification, one of the world's most unpublicised but most aggressive environment pathologies will also be considered, as it applies to Australia. The course is weighted towards conceptual and theoretical considerationsrather than to description of the region.

Chronogeography and Socio-Technical Ecology

This course develops from the Human Ecology and the Environment and Behaviour courses in Geography IIA. Chronogeography involves study of the nature of time and its role in the building of places and larger regions. Socio-Techical Ecology involves the study of the space-time connections among people and things under constrained conditions. The study of chronogeography and socio-technical ecology have particuJar relevance to the understanding of contemporary environments in which high technology tools for communication, infonnation processing and workplace organisation are increasing thediversity of human ecosystems, and creating new regional divergences and convergences.

Content

This isa voluntary course designed to givesludenlS and members of staff a working reading knowledge of scientific and technical Russian. Translation from Russian into English is cost1y. and only a very small proportion of the Soviet Union's technical literature is routinely translated into English: often translation of the absb'act alone is sufficient to determine whether a complete translation is warranted. Emphasis throughout the course will be on translation from Russian into English, although both wriuen and spoken Russian will necessarily be involved. The course should provide a good introduction for those seeking a somewhat more literary understanding of the language.

Corequisite Topic W



~ONSIX

Content Convexity has become an increasingly important concept in analysis: much of currentresearch in functional anal ysisconcems generalising to convex functions, properties previously studies forthe nonn; much of interest in convexity has arisen from areas of applied mathematics related to fixed point theory and optimisation problems. Webegin with a study of convex sets and functions defmed on linear spaces: gauges of convex sets, separation properties. We then study topology On linear spaces generated by convex sets: metrisability, normability and finite dimensional cases. We examine continuity and separation for locally convex spaces, continuity for convexity properties and Banach-Alaoglu Theorem. We study extreme points of convex sets, the Krein-Milman theorem. We give particular attention to the study of differentiation of convex functions on normed linear spaces: Gateaux and Frechet derivative, Mazur's and Asplund's theorems.

664165 MATHEMATICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Prerequisite Nil



Comem

Physiology - the study of how the body works based on the knowledge of how it is constructed - essentially dates from early in the seventeenth century when the English physician Harvey showed that blood circulates constantly through the body. The intrusion of engineering into this field is well know through the wide publicity given to (for example) hean by-pass and kidney dialysis machines, cardiac assist pace-makers. and prosthetic devices such as hip and knee joints; the obviously beneficial union has led to the establishment of B iocnginccring Departments within Universities and Hospitals. Perhaps the earliest demonstration of mathematics' useful application in (some areas of) physiology is the mid-nineteenth century derivation by Hagen. from the basic equations of continuum motion, of Poiseuille's empirical formula for flow through narrow straight tubes; detailed models of the cardiovascular circulatory system have recently been developed. Mathematical models have also been formulated for actions such as coughing. micturition and walking, as wen as for the more vital processes involved in gas exchange in the lungs. mass transport between lungs and blood and blood and tissue, metabolic exchanges within tissues, enzyme kinetics, signal conduction along nerve fibres, sperm transport in the cervix. Indeed, mathematical engineering might now besaid to be partof the conspiracy to produce super humans (e.g. see "Fast Running Tracks" in Dec. 1978 issue of Scientific American).

This course wiJI examine in some detail a few of the previously mentioned mathematical models; relevant physiological material will be introduced as required.
