Really depends on what you want. If you just want a graduate job at the end of your degree(s) then doing well until your penultimate year would suffice.

HD average is insanely hard, for all those that manage it *bows head*. People seem to think mathematics is a WAM booster, or are referring to first year. IMO getting 70 WAM first year is easy and that slowly diminishes as you progress to second, third, etc. For maths, it could be because I'm...

The quantitative risk major is a more of a gimmick major. You can replicate the major by doing a B Commerce/Science double degree with majors in Finance and Mathematics. Although doing the quant risk major will save you a year. (if you don't count the honours years of the B Adv Maths degree.)...

lol that is actually quite true. I myself havn't done any computing courses however have watched half of Richard Buckland's COM1917 2008 Lecture Recordings. Check it out: Youtube: Richard Buckland's Higher Computing

I'm currently in my 3rd year, doing finance/maths. I switched in 2009 Semester 2 so i'm only up to second year maths subjects. From my experience finance is to put it frankly a load of crap, although a few financial concepts are quite useful but not worth doing as a full major. I've done the...

Double degree commerce/science: Majoring in Finance and Mathematics Would of preferred to do Mathematics and Computer Science but too late

Purchasing a laptop will be beneficial however the question is whether the benefits outweigh the costs. I have a netbook however rarely use it at uni, as I find it's quicker to write notes and draw graphs on printed powerpoint slide handouts. Plus most people I see using a laptop, use it for...

When I transferred from MacQ to UNSW, my WAM resetted despite my transfer of credit/credit exemptions. They are on my transcript as credit exemptions but no mark is recorded and don't effect my overall WAM of my degree. I am not sure how it works with other university transfers.

When reading these forums at the end of 2008, I also thought that it was half GPA and half UAI. However applied anyways and was pleasantly suprised. MQ Comm -> UNSW Comm GPA: 3.75 (1HD, 6Ds, 1P) WAM: 78.125 UAI: 83.25 NRSL (GPA+UAI): ~91 (from what i remember...most likely wrong) Been at UNSW...

Well if you are planning to do an Actuarial Major in your comm/law degree then you must do, MATH1151 Maths - Actuarial & Finance 1A MATH1251 Maths - Actuarial & Finance 1B However if you opt to do Finance Major then you are not required to do these courses. Instead you will be required to do...

It really depends on what kinda role you want to take up in an IB. So do you know what working at an IB entails? What type of career paths there are? AFAIK: For Corporate Analyst style roles the norm is Accounting/Finance double major. As the accounting aspects of financial statement analysis...

At UNSW, The B Commerce allows you to major in financial economics or business economics. While the B Economics degree allows you to major in economics, econometrics, financial economics. Economics Major Econometrics Major Financial Economics Business Economics

SIBT for 2nd year entry to Macquarie Uni They offer commerce and IT courses Sydney Institute of Business & Technology (SIBT) offers business diplomas and university foundation courses at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia My brother did this and has just graduated this year.

Reviving and old thread. I'm looking for MATH1131/1141 Course Notes 2009. Thanks!

Thanks to this thread just knew math results got released, MATH1081 - Discrete Mathematics - 83 MATH1231 - Mathematics 1B - 89 happy with my results now waiting for the others.

I found it not too bad actually, i guessed manipulation of Taylor series question because I really never got the concept of it but yeah the rest was at reasonable level. The only big problem was time, I managed to finished right on time but the time issue was expected from doing past papers.

I'm doing a Math major now as apart of my Comm/Science degree while I only did 2U Maths in high school getting a band 5 from formula memorization. What I've done so far, are the following, MATH135 - Mathematics 1A (Macquarie) MATH1231 - Mathematics 1B (UNSW) MATH1081 - Discrete Mathematics...

Commerce/engineering students are more focused on engineering rather than commerce - the commerce component is used to lever them into a management role in a engineering company. Well that is IMO, my friends does commerce/engineering and his working engineering - apparently he did commerce...

lol yeah, job security in the finance industry is like non-existent. My brother is graduating from B Applied Finance from MQ at the end of this year and is struggling to secure a job. So if you want job security, finance is the last thing you look at.

I'm currently doing a B Commerce/Science @ UNSW, just switched this semester, Commerce at the undergrad level is a joke IMHO, hence I added a science degree to it (didn't want to drop the commerce degree after 1.5 years of it). If you want to do financial mathematics/modelling then Maths or...
