    USyd Chatter Thread 2017

    ECOS2902 is good fun--Yunjong's a great lecturer. Most people seem to regard it as easier than 2901. 3901 is fantastic, it moves away from consumer and firm theory that makes up first and second year and instead gives a rigorous treatment of cooperative and non-cooperative game theory, Bayesian...

    ECOS2201 vs ECOS3005

    University of Sydney to cut 100 degrees and triple research investment

    I will preface this with the usual caveats about the general frivolity of university rankings, but if you take a look at QS's top fifty ranked universities in the world, 22 of them are in the Commonwealth/Hong Kong (almost half!), and then most of the rest are in the United States, where I...

    Ooh stochastic processes sure sound interesting. Since it looks like 2911 is a prereq, did you manage to get that waived?

    Re: Maths 3U (100) | Maths 4U (99) | Chem (96) | Phys (98 Exam) | HSC Private Tutorin I'm about 99.95% sure that Jack is completely booked out, but in the 3.5-sigma event that there's still available spots, you should pounce quickly. Unquestionably one of the mathematical greats on this forum.

    Arts/Law at USyd vs UTS

    I don't think it's a controversial opinion to say that if you want to study arts, Sydney is pretty much the only game in town.

    Subject Reviews (with PDF compilation)

    I'll start for this semester! ECON1002 - Introductory Macroeconomics Ease: 9/10 It's just fiddling around with some basic models, nothing all that difficult. Lecturers: 8/10 Dr Mark Melatos is pretty solid - stops during the lectures and quizzes the audience about trends, etc. Prof Ed Nelson is...

    USYD Chatter Thread

    Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread I'd guess so, it's only a small mistake, and on the last line, I presume? The surface area part of that question was pretty tricky, tbh. Hahaha, you were actually pretty lucky to be in CPC, the rooms in the Old Teacher's College were being cooled by fans this...

    USYD Chatter Thread

    Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Hahaha what's even better/funnier is the Boost campaign's Facebook page (they were the teal shirts in the SRC elections, if you remember). Student Unity has made their grievances with NLS very, very public. I'm really not digging the logo change though...

    A proposed study plan

    Yes I believe this is correct. You need to take 24 junior credits that aren't maths. I believe there are some quasi-compsci units that can count, like info1xxx.
