:*( It looked super interesting but I didn't even apply for it because I didn't think I'd make the ATAR (I was completely clueless). Turns out I was well above the cut-off. Sigh. Going to miss that peaceful atmosphere. Now I'm going to devolve into one of those guys that trolls ANU forums by...

Yeah, if your marks are good enough. TBH though I've heard a couple of current/former students say that the TSP is somewhat gimmicky, at least compared to USyd's TSP program, which actually has projects and courses and whatnot.

1st year B. Science (Advanced), going to major in Maths (focusing on pure) and Physics (focusing on theoretical). I think that Maths/Phys double major was previously disallowed in Adv. Sc., but they've opened it up this year according to a few staff members. ... Then I'm going to USyd to study...

Hey, I was over at the advising day for science and talked to the associate dean, he said that for this year he would try to include an optional maths "module" in SCIF1131 similar to the SCIF1121 discipline-specific modules. If maths is your thing that might close the gap a bit.

Haha, those were good times.

Amen to that.

Sad. And I thought I had a good chance with an ATAR estimate of ~99. Although now that I mention it, I didn't actually bother to say anything about that on my application.

Great, thanks. I actually didn't get iii) or iv) in the test - the ideas were all there but I couldn't put them together coherently enough. Everything always seems to crystallise after the test is over, when your mind isn't racing. Also, Pure Mathematics PhD @ ANU. So. Jealous.

Very nice.

Anyone get 16)c)iii)? For 16)c)iv): P(k) is greatest when k is the largest integer that satisfies P(k)>P(k-1) i.e. the largest k for which k^2-k-n<0. If k^2-k-n<0, then the postulate for part (iii) is correct is true and thus, sqrt(n) > k - (1/2). Now we want the largest k for which k <...

I study maybe 1 hour a week + some tutoring, but when exams are <5 days away I'll switch into 2-4 hours a day. ATAR aim 99.2.

Weird, I never felt the HSC hype in the first place. I always thought that everyone else was just freaking out for no reason.

Wow, same here! The plan is Maths, Physics, and Philosophy!

Hah, I was at Richard's lecture at UNSW. He seemed really passionate. My favourite lecture out of all the Open Days I went to. That said, I already program, so I'll have to decline this one. Also, October 15 is the start of the HSC. Smart.

I did use Google. There are no results on the first page regarding this definition. The fastest way I can find anything about it is through a google search, into Wikipedia's "Monotonic function", into disambiguations, into 10 different possibilities, and only then into an article that doesn't...

Can anyone tell me about the quality of the courses and teaching at Macquarie, especially for philosophy? Is it worth considering, or is USyd a more solid choice when it comes to philosophy and arts in general?

Can anyone tell me about the quality of the courses and teaching at Macquarie, especially for maths/physics? It's not really what the university is known for, but then again, I'm not so narrowminded as to discount it purely based on reputation. Is it worth considering, or is USyd/UNSW a much...
