Hey, going to anu, want to major in both pure mathematics and theoretical physics, yet when i look at third year subject options i will fill up everything in pure mathematics alone. Is it possible (If you do well enough) to take 5 or even 6 subjects per semester? I know it is not adviseable, but i think i can handle it (got high 90s in 4unit math without more than a couple of hours of study). Who do you speak to about doing this?
Also is it possible to skip first year maths/physics courses if I can already handle calculus, linear algebra etc? Over the summer i have been reading a real analysis text (which is more rigorous calculus for those non mathematicians) (the text was Rudin) and it is notoriously difficult, but i found it managable. Sadly this is all my own interest and i have not got any credit from pre university studies, so is it possible for me to take a diagnostic test to test out of first/second year calculus, linear algebra?
