The College Council has approved the use within the Graduate Diploma in Mathematical Sciences of all suitable subjects from the following College courses: the Bachelor of Science Education, the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) and the Graduate Diploma in Computer Education. This suitability is determined by the Head of Mathematics under Regulation 7 above, having regard to the background and needs of each individual candidate and bearing in mind the principles of course advice set out in the accreditation document for this course. Additionally, projects are included and these may vary widely in point value and subject matter, and, again, the principles for project development set out in the accreditation document are adhered to. Copies of the accreditation document may be inspected between the hours of 9.00 a.m.
and 5.00 p.m. on weekdays at the office of the Department of Mathematics, room 707, Science Education Building.
Because of the wide variety of possible projects, samples are not set out here; again, examples may be inspected at the above location. Special mathematical sciences codes (MAS) are only used for projects and a special two-point method subject. In all other cases, codes from the other courses are used, as shown in the Table of Subjects. In the case of projects, MAS34 stands for any two-point project, MAS35 for any three-point project, and so on up to MAS42 for a ten-point project.
It should be noted that many of the subjects with codes MAA, MAB and MAC will be available by having to attend only a minimal number of hours supplemented by study of supplied notes and problem sheets from the Department of Mathematics. Evening classes in first-year Computer Studies will be available (see below in Table of Subjects).
The second-year sequence CSBO1, CSB02 and CSB03 will be held in late afternoon/evening classes.
These various arrangements have been deliberately instituted to enable teachers and others to complete the program on a part-time basis. However, it is to be emphasised that attending regular day-time classes is to be preferred to other modes of study.
All subjects to be offered are, of course, provisional on sufficient enrolments and availability of staff.
Table of Subjects
'indicates that the subject will not be available in 1984.
Group 1: Computer Science (and Applications) Evening Classes
A first-year level stream of Computer Studies equalling at least 9 points will be available in the late afternoon/evening on days to be determined and notified early in 1984. The overall content of this evening stream will be equivalent to the daytime Computer Studies A10 subject shown below.
Day Classes
(Some Second Year Subjects may be late afternoon classes. Note that in the codes the third letter A,B, or C indicates 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year level respectively.)

The names of some sample projects together with point values are shown below. Specific details may be obtained from the Department of Mathematics.
Note that if a student does more than one two-point project the codes will be different for each one, for example. MAS34 and MAS44. If a third two-point project is undertaken, then MAS54 will be used. The same system of code designation would apply to three- or four-point projects.

Relationship of Subject Descriptions to Table of Subjects
In the details of subjects given further on, subjects with CS codes have been kept together and given first;
those with MA codes kept together and given second. Special MAS codes have been placed at the end.
The listing of CS and MA codes is essentially as given in the Undergraduate Handbook under Computer Studies and Mathematics respectively, and the MA subjects have consequently not been regrouped into the groups 1,2,3 and 4 shown above.
