    Double degrees

    yep. if there are 2 things you want to learn about, then do the double. if you just want to learn about one thing, eg mathematics, and you decide to do a double degree instead in mathematics/commerce so that you have a backup or you will have more skills, you will actually be reducing your...

    Difficulties in studying in a course of computer science in UNSW

    "All CSE International Undergraduate Students are invited to an Open Discussion next Monday, 21st September." I got that email today, you would have too. you might want to consider going and seeing if they can help you out. as for your courses, MATH1131 isnt that hard. if you go to the...

    Computer engineering

    well computer engineers do a lot of electrical stuff, while soft eng's dont do anything related to the physics/electrical side of a computer, and instead have these courses called "workshops" where they work in a team and do stuff like that. they pretty much overlap on the computing side so...

    Computer engineering

    pure comp sci (at unsw) have to do discrete maths but thats the only mathematical difference discrete maths contains topics that are very applicable to computing problems, even though you dont learn about them in this way. quite an interesting course as it feels entirely different to the...

    hard permutations question

    ok, since I did it with the numbers 1-8, and you perhaps just went straight to my answer of 1680 and thought i did it wrong, I will explain again using the numbers 1-9 --- since the odd numbers are in increasing order, and so can only be ordered in one way, they can be generalised to sticks...

    Computer engineering

    comp eng = bit of computer science + bit of electrical engineering soft eng = bit of computer science + you have these other subjects where you work in teams and develop software and learn how to work in groups and manage projects and some (which apparently arent that fun)

    Advantages of Having a Laptop for the HSC

    I think studies have shown that you cant listen and write at the same time and effectively retain the information. I would assume that a similar correlation exists between listening and typing. if you have a long bus/train ride to school, then you could make better use of that time and...

    hard permutations question

    since the odd numbers are in increasing order, and so can only be ordered in one way, they can be generalised to sticks so you must now sort 4 sticks and 4 numbers, 2, 4, 6, and 8 eg |2|4|6|8 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 so how many ways can you arrange the sticks? I believe it is 8C4 = 70 (8 items...

    Does anyone else...

    perfectly normal dont think about a career, just think about what you like and what you have a passion for, and go for that. the reason is that there are literally tens of thousands of different jobs out there. and going for one specifically is quite specific. knowing what you like and...

    UNSW open day.

    well if your bag has nothing in it in the first palce, I think it is quite obvious that there is no map inside of it either.

    Macquarie Open Day

    A major = 50% of your degree. if you dont have room for 2 majors, then you done too much on one side and not the other

    Hypothetical.

    from experience, if someone is coming 2nd in a course and they get the top hsc external mark, then the person coming 1st can only get, as a maximum, the same mark as the person that came 2nd. in the above case, it would mean they would find a point near the middle, about 77-78, and both would...

    [help] programming at uni

    if by web programming you mean web development and website building then uni wont help much comp sci/ comp eng/ soft eng are far too deep if you just want to do web development. maybe a digital media course, but again, i think that would be too involved if you just want to do web dev...

    mx2 compared to 2u and mx1

    4u scales very well, so its worth sticking to it unless you are doing very badly. ie, if you sit down and do a past paper, and have absolutely no idea how to even start 1/2 of the questions, then yea, you might have a problem. but if you have a relative idea about most things or...
