That's not really what cherry pick means.

You just further prove my point that you have some weird issue with USYD.

98.35 vs 95.00 if I wanted to actually argue a point instead of talk shit I probs could

I'm starting to think these people just couldn't get into USYD with how much they bag it out lol

Yep that's right. I know most people on that list of 8 medallists, and I know for a fact that only 2 of them did honours in maths. The others did either computer science, chemistry, or physics honours. I think it is quite possible that UNSW maths has slightly inflated grades, the dux of UNSW...

Like you can have UNSW pride or whatever, but when giving out advice don't put your own bias into it and claim facts, e.g. that USYD gives out more maths medals when in fact UNSW has a higher percentage of medals.

No applied or stats medals were given out. You literally listed medals from across ALL OF SCIENCE.

To OP, if you lean towards engo go UNSW, if you lean towards maths go USYD. That simple really.

UNSW has like 2 or 3 pure maths honours students and gave out 1 medal. USYD has like 10 pure maths honours students and gave out 2 medals. Seems like you guys give out a higher percentage?

Even the people who didn't get uni medals at USYD could get medals at UNSW tbh

2nd and 3rd year gets really into the pure side

I might put a caveat here that these jobs are extremely hard to get and you really need to stand out to land one.

From memory, pure maths grads have a lower unemployment rate than law grads. Well those jobs pay pretty well themselves, but there are plenty of others. Oceanology and meteorology come to mind straight away. The highest paying grad job I know of is for trading firms, and they hire...

Nah I would say any maths or stats is good to do. Maths/stats majors (regardless of pure/applied/financial) I know seem to get the best internships/grad jobs srs.

You can make a lot of money with a maths degree tbh.

Well banks aren't exactly the main place for actuaries to go for work.

Re: Australian Maths Competition 2013 Yeah I got this.

Re: USYD Chatter Thread - Semester 1 2016 Honestly, every first/second year I knew that got in just had a really high WAM.

Here's a nice approach to question 2 which highlights a neat way of thinking about questions like this: Consider an arbitrary 6 digit number: A B C D E F We must have 456 in here somewhere. So we already know 3 of the digits, meaning we really only have this: _A_B_C_ Now we need...

A much easier method is to notice that any 2x2x2 cube has a vertex (at the centre) which is common for all 8 cubes. So clearly you need at least 8 colours. You could go ahead and find an 8-colouring, but for an a more satisfying proof that 8 colours is sufficient: Start with a 2x2x2 cube where...
