    actuarial studies major + pther major?

    If you choose to do MATH1151 and MATH1251 in 1st year, and you opt to not continue with Actuarial Studies Major in 2nd year, then you must complete ECON1203 (which is absolute minimum 6 units of statistics required). The reason is that ACTL2002 is the statistics course which you complete for...

    few questions on acturial studies

    I've completed actuarial studies major this year, with only a 3u maths background. Things to be aware are- Workload for an actuarial subject can consume around 75%+ of your study time before exams if you're doing 4 subjects every semester, ie, in conjunction with accounting/economics/finance...

    acturial anybody?

    Doing ACTL3002 at UNSW presently, but with Changki teaching it, I've skipped all the lectures bar the first one. Some actuarial lecturers at UNSW are of poor quality, and sooner or later, you realise you may/will need to read and cram by your own, rather than like in high school. Just be warned...

    Trouble enrolling MATH1231

    You should do MATH1251. It is somewhat more easier to follow than MATH1151. The lecturers are Tacon and Trenerry so you can confer with either one of them if you got problems. Only 3 people failed last year's MATH1251 out of 134 people :) --> 97.7% pass rate. Reasons why you can't do MATH1231...

    Actl2001

    But can we make that assumption this year? We have a somewhat strange lecturer- Randell Heyman, and Michael Sherris is the course convenor for the subject, so it is up to him to set the difficulty for the quizzes and exams. Haha, I wish he lectured us in ACTL2001 as well, as he does a decent...

    enrolling in math1131 after having done math1011

    MAICHI, did you get the info from Tacon that the top MATH1251 mark was 97? I too, reckon that there is not much scaling from MATH1151/1251. Sure, there was double integration in calculus and stuff such as lagrange multipliers in algebra, but it was pretty easy. I got 58 and 57...
