    How much maths in actuarial studies?

    Fair enough, that's good to hear :). Would I be at a disadvantage in the eyes of an employer if I went into finances/actuarial for not having a commerce type degree or do they mostly look for critical thinking skills etc... no matter the degree? Ah I simply thought so because there are a lot...

    How much maths in actuarial studies?

    Pretty late reply, so apologies in advance for bumping a relatively old thread but after researching it a bit more I've got a few more question: -Would just having a major in maths (and maybe even a double major in physics) be viable at all to get a job? -How about if I had a phd? -What kind of...

    Multiple Choice

    Yes but it's probably a graph with frequency in the x axis in this case we have wavelength in the x axis.

    True it's a matter of perspective I personally absolutely hate it haha X)

    General Thoughts: Physics

    Yeah the exam was incredibly easy, no annoying applied physics like solar cells or accelerators, realistically though the cuttoff will probably be something like 82-84.

    Induction question

    Ah alrighty thanks very much :) another question, would this be the case for generators too as in would the positive side be the end toward which the conventional current is flowing?

    Induction question

    Thanks for the reply, But I'm still somewhat confused as according to Lenz's law the induced current opposes the original change in magnetic flux therein the current should be flowing in the direction that causes a downward force on the wire in other words from end X to end Y.

    Induction question

    This question is confusing me a bit: I know that the current would flow from end X to end Y according to Lenz's law thus I would assume that for this to be so end Y would have to be negative while end X would have to be positive since conventional current flows from positive to negative...

    How much maths in actuarial studies?

    Hahaha I can certainly imagine it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea :p Ah that's good to hear :) do you know what he usually does outside of the whole "doing maths" part?

    How much maths in actuarial studies?

    I'm really interested in doing a combined degree of actuarial studies and maths (at unsw), since I have found a passion in mathematics, but I've recently been having second thoughts about whether or not being an actuary would be for me. How much maths is involved? I know it's a very...

    Transfering to computer science

    Hey all, a friend of mine really wants to get into unsw computing, unfortunately he might not be able to get into it next year as his english standard scores are pulling him down quite a bit. So would it be possible for him to get into a degree with similar courses, say a bachelor of science...

    French continuers!

    I'm guessing it was the services one as it seemed to be the main point of the advertisement they just kinda mentioned donations as a side thing.

    Hmm the test was alright, only problem is I can't really remember question 6 of listening so I'm afraid I might have accidentally skipped it D:

    Mathematics solutions

    It depends, according to my teacher they usually have one integration question wherein they allocate one mark for noting the +c, however in the other ones you'd be marked the same. However, if you forgot +c in a question that involves finding the equation from the derivative though you should...

    Mathematics solutions

    I'm guessing that they would accept both, I chose to interpret "simplest form" as being fully simplified not just having a simple layout. I think he meant similar triangles but accidentally wrote congruent in his post, reasonable enough mistake to make.

    Mathematics solutions

    Yes there are that amount of members but they're not asking how much money the site earned on day 12 it is asking how much money it earned during the first 12 days so the answer would be: 27*0.005((2^12)-1)/(2-1)
