    Who is the greatest mathematician ever?

    The answer to that is simply pushing him into the ground. Given his build, it's very easy to do. Or remind him that in an arm wrestle, he will be beaten by almost everyone. Both has worked well.

    Who is the greatest mathematician ever?

    Worst temper/dress sense for a mathematician maybe, but he is battling against some very eccentric mathematicians in that category.

    Does going to a shit school alter ur final uai?

    You're more disadvantaged by not being able to use proper spelling for your poll options than going to a crap school.

    withdraw without failure...

    You're looking at discontinue without failure (DNF), which has the deadline of 24th April. You are still liable for HECS for the course but will not record a failure. Depending on faculty, you may redo the 6cp in any subject you would like, provided you have completed the necessary...

    bachelor of science questions

    Why would honours in three years mean smaller HECS debt? The only possibility for that is for prerequisites to be waived, for which you do not need to be in TSP for.

    Doing honours/masters or PHD

    I find both of those untrue and quite stereotypic. Many maths doctorates work in a wide variety of industries, and a PhD does not imply you want to become an academic, nor is it the only criterion to become one.

    Complex Solutions to A "Complex" quadratic

    This is a MATH1001 assignment question. Try doing it yourself first. Why are the first year students so eager to cheat and get other people to do their assignments this year...

    Dropping a degree...

    It should be an internal process. Talk to your faculty office about the necessary paperwork.

    Science TO Adv. Science

    You could transfer but I presume it is an internal transfer rather than going through UAC (which would just be a waste of money). Talk to the faculty office. Just don't ask why there are two separate degrees.

    Trick Question

    The integral on the left is less than the right, but the statement is true. \leq means less than or equal to, with the "or" clearly being exclusive or, so there is nothing wrong with that since only one has to be valid ie 2\leq5 and 5\leq5 are both true.

    How to apply to university

    Seriously, applying for uni is not like applying for grant money: if you can't figure it out yourself to some degree, you probably shouldn't go to uni.

    Science TO Adv. Science

    Just to clarify the above post, there is no need to transfer because all the science courses at USyd are the same. If you've completed the requirements of adv science in your degree, you will get adv science on your testamur. Otherwise you get just science.

    Pi On A Calculator

    Then \pi\neq 3.1415926535897932, since you can never express it in decimal form. You should always use the symbol rather than 3.14159...:p

    Pi On A Calculator

    For standard CASIO calculators with 12 digit mantissa (display) the memory stores 15 digits, so the calculator does store more than it can display, but not to the extent of 70 digits. This is to avoid rounding errors in most cases. Having \pi accurate up to the 10th decimal place is already...

    Parking Fines @ USYD

    1. Very few actually parks on campus. High cost and lack of spaces. 2. Those that do pay for parking, knowing how vigilant patrols for parking violations are.

    Rank the NSW uni's for particular faculties and why

    UNSW does not have the upper hand in maths. If you want to do anything in algebra, USyd is the best option. Analysis, it would be UNSW. There is no uni that is good at every discipline in maths in Australia.

    Tutorials

    Do the preparation questions first, and then maybe have an attempt at a few more. We want you to be prepared, but also working in the tutorial as well (if you come in with all the questions done and want to leave, you will not be marked off).

    Could the internet in general be a university institution itself?

    Despite what people might think, the primary purpose of universities is to research, which has already been covered here.
