School visit registration
Teachers of Mathematical Methods: opportunities for your students at University and Beyond …
The School of Mathematical & Geospatial Sciences is happy to offer schools the choice of 3 school visit options. We will come to your school or arrange a session on the RMIT city campus.
Option 1: Mathematics and Statistics in Sport
(~ 1 hour, ideally less than 36 students/ session)
In this interactive session, we provide 12 netbooks (students work in pairs) and we involve the class in three activities currently undertaken by our own statistics researchers and sports statisticians. The activities include:
- Looking at Benford’s law in Powerball
- How to beat the totalisator
- How to predict the winner of an AFL match
The session will also include a look at the outstanding career options of maths and stats graduates, and a specific look at the work we do with sporting teams.
Option 2: Your Career in Mathematics and Statistics
(~ ½ – ¾ hour, no limit on numbers)
In this option we present the outstanding career options of the maths and stats graduates with a specific look at the work we do in different industries. This session involves some presentations of the projects undertaken, and the problems mathematicians and statisticians solve.
Option 3: A Career in Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences
(~ ½ – ¾ hour, no limit on numbers)
This is a more general overview of the career options RMIT offers in mathematical, statistical and geospatial sciences. This focuses on what our students learn, what careers they pursue and the problems they solve in a variety of industries.
We will come to you and showcase some of the careers graduates of mathematics, statistics, surveying and geomatics go into, and inform the students of the huge number of opportunities to interact with industry when studying – even before they graduate!
