*update* Due to changing courses, I am no longer doing chemistry and fundations of IT systems... YAY! ;)

Oh they did, but I didn't do ext2 math which was requried IIRC

Hrm, good point. I did choose the chem stream. What would you recommended freaking_out?

Thanks BlackJack, I'll look those up.

Thank memo for that.

Got a friend who is will be doing software engineering. I feel sorry for him :P But then he DOES write code @ 100USD per hour, he probably end up teaching :D As for OO, *sigh* I'll try VERY hard not to do any software courses... OO is horrid in my opinion :) Java is nice for its sandbox and...

xiao1985: IOI = International Olympiad in informatisc (aka programming/coding). The selection school was the best 10 days of my life :D Rand usyd today, they said if worst comes to worst, i can talk to the ppl in the engineering faculty, "they are always looking for good students" :D Hope it...

Thanks for the advice ErgoSum. BTW, is Java part of the engineering course? I am a c/perl person, and has been for the last 4 years, OO doesn't float my boat very well (another debate for another time). Thanks again for your wisdom, Steve

I live at Concord West, the campus is at Redfern, its around 20 minutes by train, still fairly close. xiao1985: my science wasn't THAT exceptional :P The only noteworthy archievement I ever had was being the reserve for the Australian IOI team, but that has nothing to do with science :S I also...

To Students currently doing Engineering: What books are required, and what do you recommend, for electrical engineering and engineering in general? Want to know now so I can get them early or get them 2nd hand. Thanks in advance! Steve

To the students currently doing Science: What books are required/recommended for science streams (math, physics), and for specialization in physics? Want to know so I can get them early and beat the que, or get them 2nd hand and save $$$. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Steve

Thankies! Thanks !

I got b.sci advanced, even though a) I don't want it b) UAI cut off is too high. But I'll be trying to get into b.eng/b.sci, so guess I'll see you there any way!

Thanks for that ultimate and santaslayer. As for how I managed to get it, I have no idea. Maybe they thought that due to my better marks (relative to my OTHER marks) I can still do it despite being 2 points lower... but I don't know, its all black magic and voodoo to me :P I'll give them a...
