To pass exams you don't, but to do research in those areas (say, at Honours level) I believe you do, or at least you need to have the motivation to learn new stuff.

I thought you needed at least 6 credit points in mathematics as a prerequisite? Or has RealiseNothing already done some intermediate units in maths already?

Unfortunately, I keep changing my mind and I seem to be facing a dilemma between pure/applied maths. :cry: Sometimes I prefer applied maths since it's less abstract, while sometimes I find pure maths more attractive since it virtually doesn't require any knowledge outside mathematics (if you...

Thanks! I'm expecting to finish next semester, but I'm basically done with my maths major IF I manage to pass all my units of study this semester (I did 2 senior maths units of study last semester and I'm doing 3 this semester. Depending on what grades I get this semester I might do another 1...

Wouldn't statistics (STAT2011/2911) be good?

Actually I'm doing maths too. :p The units I'm doing this semester make me wonder if I can make it to Honours :cry: Probably at least not at USyd, where a 75% average for normal units or 65% for advanced units is required. For Honours I'll see if I can transfer to UNSW, where a 70% average is...

I'd like to hear what people have to say about looking for a supervisor for Honours too. Anyway, I could share how I tried to look for a supervisor for a summer vacation research scholarship (unfortunately my application was not successful). After doing a unit of study I had a particular area...

Why not do Honours or a coursework Masters instead then? :speechless:

That's very ambitious of you!

Hi Amleops. How did you "mess around with transfers so much" ? I remember you said you transferred from another university to USyd, and that you transferred from a combined degree to BSc (Adv). But don't the transfers make you graduate one semester/year later than normal? Why is it 2 years...

That's why I withdrew from a Winter School subject in July. :(

Thanks passionxmusic. :cry: Good luck with your exam preparation too. :D

I find it particularly hard to prepare for one of my units of study: it has no quizzes at all, I look at the problems on its tute sheets and I have no idea how to do them but when I look at the solutions they look ridiculously simple.

It's week 11 and I still have 5 assessments due ... :rage:

My timetable is very similar to yours!

Same here mate, but it gives me more time to prepare/struggle for the subject, which I am not familiar with at all.

That sucks man.

Is everyone happy with their exam timetables? For me, this semester's exam timetable seems better than what I had last semester: I have fewer 9am or 9:20am exams, and I only have two exams taking place consecutively, instead of having to take exams 3 days straight like last semester :)

Yes I am. :(

Are you doing MATH3078/3978 too?
