    English Tutor and Essay Editing Service - FIFTH IN STATE, ATAR 99.90

    Hi everyone, I am no longer offering tutoring services. However, I am still selling my essays. I know some of the texts and modules have changed, but these should still be very useful. Module A: Frankenstein contrasted with Blade Runner Module B: Gwen Harwood's poetry Module C: Julius Caesar...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    2206 is an interesting subject, and the lecturer for it (Fiebig) in the first semester is really good. Workload not all that high. Keeping up with tutorial questions is helpful but not essential. During semester you need to do one assignment and one project, so apart from a week or two not all...

    2nd Sem Subjects to take for high wam/transfer

    You can do second year subjects relevant to your major if you like. Depending on your major this could be better for your wam than ECON1203 or MGMT.

    Maths Major Question

    Out of those subjects the only two in which doing one before the the other is significantly useful is MATH2011 (Several Variable Calc) before MATH2521 (Complex Analysis). In complex analysis you need some tools from multivariable calculus (even at a basic level, you can think of a complex...

    Both FINS1612 and 1613 in first year Sem1? (CS student)

    When do you plan to do Discrete Maths? That can be done concurrently with MATH1131 if you want.

    Economics Pre-Honours/Honours

    JasonG123 famously got a band 6 in Maths Extension 2 without even knowing the formula for the triangular numbers. If he can pass, so can you!

    Recommended Studies for Computer Science

    You can get through a maths degree without the knowledge from Extension 2 (since it will be retaught in first year) but unless you are the type of person who can and wants to do Extension 2, a maths degree (not even necessarily a pure maths major) will get pretty hard and pretty tiresome very...

    honours?

    JasonG123 was to much of a troll for USyd message boards so is trying his luck here. Don't fall for it.

    WAM Prediction Thread

    The day maths releases provisional marks (usually exactly one week before main release) is the deadline for schools to submit marks to faculties. I found this online somewhere last sem but can't find it now. That's when the transcripts updated last sem.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    MATH2111 (Higher Several Variable Calculus) Ease 8/10. The first half of this course (Analysis) is very abstract and can take a bit of time to wrap your head around. The questions and techniques, though, are intuitive and interesting once you understand the material. The second half of the...

    maths in the finance major at UNSW

    Also this ^^^. You're insane. Finance is the definition of narrow. For example, in finance you solve one particular second order partial differential equation over and over (Black-Scholes) whereas in Maths you study PDE's in general, over arbitrary dimensions etc. I could go on but clearly you...

    maths in the finance major at UNSW

    Unfortunately you have missed the point. Sure, finance finance assessments and cohorts may make it harder to do well, but in any objective sense the content in maths is more difficult, more conceptual, more abstract. The techniques are more sophisticated and the problems to solve are harder in...

    UNSW Sem 1 Final Exams Thread

    And they add in some random financial related noise like Vandermonde matrices and 'time systems' ("Applied mathematicians making up a name to make it seem like it's something new" D. Crocker) which might be tolerable if the lecturers themselves didn't think it was a waste of time and therefore...

    UNSW Sem 1 Final Exams Thread

    Does look relatively tough. Second this. It doesn't seem like the great injustice of 1151 will be changed any time soon. I think it's reasonable that whatever mark you got in 1151 you can add 10 or so to and that would be a fair estimate of a 1141 mark that same person might have gotten with...
