Neg respect to nullify this post and for doing commerce.

Velox is doing B.Sc Geophysics majoring in mathematics and statistics. I have no idea about what knowledge is required to trade commodities and such so I'm no use here - think I might have some e-books it though. Are there no geology graduate certificates/masters degrees you can get into?

I'd assume forever - think it takes people generally 15 years to become a full FIAA actuary. I've seen a few people get 2 of their exams done during university which would be cool.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to be an 'actuary' you have to do (to my knowledge): Stage 1 (UG - 3 years) Stage 2 (Post Grad - 1 year) Stage 3 (Exams - ~7 years?) I dropped my commerce degree because I believe honours + 0.5 years > finance major. If you want to be one of these...

Programming jobs get outsourced to India so you don't want to be a code monkey.

nah ur al rly dum

I think an actuarial science degree's only pro (as opposed to a mathematics degree) is the qualification which really doesn't add up to much compared to a PhD (there are some forms only a FIAA actuary can sign but I don't know the importance of this.) Actuarial is more risk based however due to...

Heaps of books you will be able to get from torrents or your local library will have your simple maths books - I'd refrain from trying to jump into multivariable calculus as thats really 2nd year onwards. If you go over these things you'll be fine (for first year anyway): Single-variable...

I'd imagine it to be like that. I'm just wondering if the roles such as director of R&D in a firm would really require it - like would you be expected to be looking at the cost/management side of r&d as opposed to actually doing r&d Good thing about having a quantitative background is...

You should PM velox about this - he does geophysics. I'd look at doing a graduate certificate in geology if one is avaliable as that'd be a lot quicker (not sure if it is cheap though!)

wow the nsw system is so different - i had 4 hrs of calculus and 4 hrs of applicable mathematics a week :D

Yes and you can take the advanced maths units - you will just recieve B.science not B.advanced science. Try to get the most flexible degree structure possible - really wish I did fluid dynamics instead of economics ><

Self teach is the only way you'll do well

There are some computational mathematics units at UNSW (more than UWA anyway :() If you do a B.Sc(Mathematics) you will be using packages like MATLAB, Mathematica, R though no mathematics units involve actual programming which I consider to be quite important. If you do a B.Sc(Computer Science)...

I got an hour sleep before my english - kinda threw up in my mouth a bit as soon as I get there LOL but I sat down and wrote 14 pages which I thought were the best essays I had ever written (expected 95/80/90 or something) - ended up getting a scaled score of 69 so it musn'tve been that good.
