In fact, it’s more than just a super lab – it’s the first multidisciplinary space of its kind in Australia. Looking for a learning experience that truly stands alone? Welcome to the UTS Super Lab. This multidisciplinary teaching and learning space can house more than 200 students in up to 12 different classes, all at the same time. It’s the ultimate collaborative learning environment – you’ll be surrounded by students from all different science disciplines, with everyone studying simultaneously. The best bit? You’ll get a sneak peek at future subjects and those beyond your degree. It’s a great way to see all kinds of science in action. Here’s how it works: The lab is home to 12 demonstrator stations where teaching staff conduct their classes. You’ll sit at a student station that’s equipped with a touch screen computer and wireless headset and microphone, where your teacher will speak directly into your headset, so you can participate in class activities from anywhere in the room. Need some group time, a break, or a chance to go over your notes? There are smartboard- equipped breakout spaces scattered throughout the lab, so you can keep track of your brainstorming sessions.

Delman & Gregory Galperin “A Tale of Three Circles,” Mathematics Magazine, February 2003, pp.15-32. The article by Charles Delman and Gregory Galperin begins with an intriguing basic question about the sum of the angles of curvilinear triangles formed by the arcs of three circles in the plane. In the course of analyzing the problem, the authors carry us along a wave that takes us through examples, a theorem that explains it all, and an overview of three classical geometries. The authors consider three configurations of three intersecting circles in the plane: first, the case where the three circles intersect at a common point and no circles are tangent to each other; next, the case where the three circles have collinear centers; and finally, the case in which the three circles intersect as in a generic Venn diagram. Each of the three cases results in a different sum of the angles of a curvilinear triangle.

With a qualification in mathematics, employers recognise that you are equipped with the specialist analytical and problem-solving skills for today’s complex world. QUT is one of the few Australian universities to offer a Bachelor of Mathematics, giving students options to specialise in their chosen field of mathematics. Our Bachelor of Mathematics course focuses on the application of mathematics and delivers majors in three contemporary disciplines: • Applied and Computational Mathematics • Decision Science • Statistical Science. Brody Foy QUT Bachelor of Mathematics (Hons) graduate and Queensland’s 2015 Rhodes Scholar Brody Foy is QUT’s seventh Rhodes Scholar, and our fourth in five years, reflecting our excellence in teaching, mentoring and student development programs. Brody completed an honours degree in computational mathematics and will apply his education to modelling the spread of lung cancer. Improving outcomes for people around the world motivates Brody to use his mathematical skills. As a final year student, he travelled to a South American gold mine, where he and others developed a proof-of-concept 3D mapping device from off-the-shelf equipment to detect and improve weak or unstable areas, and prevent mine collapses. As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, he will now incorporate disease factors into existing human lung function models and simulate recovery after
