Hey c3der and welcome to the forums.

For a standard math degree good marks in your high school math subjects along with a prerequisite total score (ATAR in Australia, SAT or equivalent in the states I think) and possibly decent enough marks in English.

For the advanced math degrees you will need a very very high mark in your high school mathematics subjects and you have to do the highest level of maths and ace it. You also need a really really high total score.

Aside from that, in regards to the math component of the degree, there should be no other prerequisites.

Typically many places offer bridging courses if you don't have the background (like if you dropped out of school or didn't choose the right subjects).

Apart from that, as a general rule, nothing else should be assumed as far as I know, but always check your university website for clarification.

I can tell you that math is a fundamental component of any scientific field and a math degree covers a broad range of subjects. Some of the main focus areas in a math degree include calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, abstract algebra, and real analysis. These subjects provide a strong foundation in mathematical principles and techniques that are essential for many fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. Additionally, statistics and probability are also important topics in a math degree, as they are used in data analysis and decision making in various industries. It is also common for math degrees to include courses in numerical methods, mathematical modeling, and discrete mathematics. Overall, a math degree encompasses a wide range of mathematical concepts and techniques that are applicable in various fields.
