    QFT This is fundamental in constructing models in any scenario. Also, it is easier for a mathematician to gain business knowledge through experience, than for a "typical" commerce student to gain strong quantitative skills.

    What GPA would you need?

    Given the competitiveness of Usyd law, you probably need a GPA close to 7 (or whatever the maximum GPA is)

    Is it possible to take 2-4 weeks off during Semester 2? Is it advisable?

    My bet its probably not good enough to get a supplementary quiz/mid sem exam. Finals wont be held until November so you should be fine for that. As for assignments, they shouldn't be such a big deal if you finish them early. Either submit online or give to a friend to submit for you in person...

    Is it possible to take 2-4 weeks off during Semester 2? Is it advisable?

    tutes are not compulsory. unless the course allocates part of your final mark to tutorial attendance or lab work you wont miss much that you can't do by yourself. otherwise tutorial attendance only matters if your final result is borderline fail when they choose whether you get a pass conceded...

    "Hence" makes it easier x^2+1 \geq 2x \\ 1 \geq \frac{2x}{x^2+1} \\\int_0^x 1 dy \geq \int_0^x \frac{2y}{y^2+1} dy\\x \geq ln(x^2+1)\\e^x \geq x^2+1 Note that the integration step only works for x>=0

    Quantitative Risk = Maths and finance double degree + honours but with less maths and less finance than the combined degree. Its a gimmick to attract students to the school of maths. by itself it wont get you a quant role easily. true quants usually have a PHD in mathematics (pure or applied)...

    Only because the question asked for induction. Its really just a repeated application of triangle's inequality.

    Welcome to life as a typical commerce student... check http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2011/3502.html for flexible commerce cores. You enroll in them next semester.

    +1. This highlights the flaw in assuming if f(x)>g(x) for all x, then the primitives of both functions share the sample property (ie.F(x)>G(x) for all x) due to differing constants of integration.

    Is BSc of Arts majoring in Economics just as employable as a BSc Commerce/Economics?

    Re: Is BSc of Arts majoring in Economics just as employable as a BSc Commerce/Economi economics and finance are completely different so a standalone economics major in either degrees wont really be useful for finance.

    Walking out of lectures...

    As long as you do it subtlely and don't disrupt the lecture its fine. Sit closer to aisles and door so that you don't disrupt others trying to listen.

    Learn integration by parts, recursive integration techniques, vector arithmetic, implicit differentiation. Thats about it. Oh there is complex numbers in MATH1251.

    Econ1101

    If you have done economics in high school => you're set for ECON1101 If you have not done economics in high school => concepts such as supply and demand are common sense and easy to pick up anyway => so you're still set for ECON1101 Macroeconomics is a bit different from high school...
