Are you sure you can get a minor in Finance? I thought the B Com/Sc just gives one major each in Com and Sc, and thats all. Is it (or will it be) possible for students to do Actuarial Studies as well as Quantitative Risk? ie. Will the Adv Maths program allow for students to combine with...

glad u noticed :) and i dont think its going to get any better...maths is always deemed to be too hard every time they edit the syllabus

properties of determinant that u need: det(AB) = det(A)det(B) det(A-1) = 1/det(A) det(cA) = cndet(A) for A in Rn hope uve seen those before =) so then det(A-x-1I) / det(A) = det((A-x-1I)A-1) = det(I - x-1A-1) = (-1)3det(A-1x-1 - I) = - det(A-1 - xI) / x3

yup :D ACCT2542 replaced by ACCT1501+1511 macro1/2+micro2/1 replaced by simply macro1+micro1

lol looks like ur gonna get plenty of exercise mon: clb up to clancy down to red centre then back up to clancy wed: clb up to mathews down to quad up to mathews down to EE up to clancy :P i hate maths timetables...always so many classes scattered all over the week, and plenty of 9am starts

(iii) P(r,s) = P(throw r heads before s tails) "throw r heads before s tails"... this is equivalent to: "in the first r+s-1 throws, he throws at least r heads", since: - if he doesnt, then he has thrown <= r-1 heads, and so he has thrown >= s tails, so not r heads before s tails - if he...

to 2nd+ yr students: what is the min mark that u think we should require in ACTL1001 to be able to manage the actl subjects in the future? i know they set the benchmark at a credit, but for example, would someone who just gets exactly 65 be able to do reasonably well in later years?

because he said "If that is true, then:"

just use cis u dont need e^i@ for hsc questions

that will probably get u 0 in an exam i know what u meant to say...or at least what u shouldve said but never say "if the question is true, then ..., which is true, so the question was true" anyway, a straight forward method is using LHS - RHS and make common denominator and etc nothing...
