Description Advanced Mathematical Investigations is an integral part of the Master of Research for students planning a future in mathematical and/or statistical research. Students will carry out extensive investigations under the supervision of an academic staff member that will allow the development of skills, knowledge and a way of thinking that will assist in the learning of mathematics and/or statistics needed for research in their chosen field of mathematics. They will also develop their written and oral communication skills, culminating in a paper which will be written as though it is to be submitted to a mathematics/statistics journal for publication (including following the journal's requirements for presentation) and an oral presentation of the style expected at a mathematics/statistics conference.
