    Any 2015s doing 4U maths? (Also 2015 4U maths thread)

    Even if you're not interested in math in year 11, I'd still recommend doing 4U if you're decent at math. I wasn't at all interested in math until I took up Ext2. It's a little sad because all mathematics before Ext2 is REALLY lacklustre and boring, despite this I did 4U partly because "why not"...

    lol hsc is nothing wait till you see what lies ahead.

    What's the "style" of work you do in postgrad? When you go from HSC to uni, your learning is basically just a lot more self-directed/aimless, and that's about it. The work itself isn't all that different, you just don't have a clear cut syllabus for you to follow. What about postgrad?

    lol hsc is nothing wait till you see what lies ahead.

    Stress-wise, uni is lighter on you than the HSC - simply because the consequences of doing bad aren't that hard on you. However unless you're planning on doing arts/law/comm, be prepared to have a MUCH larger workload than the HSC. (You get used to it though)

    Real talk: What is the point in English?

    So that we can build up communication skills which will help us in the long run. Unfortunately, HSC English doesn't do a very good job of this. But I think that's it's main aim. Also, I think English is compulsory so that it "balances out" the HSC. Too often, logical/mathematical subjects with...

    Engineering what topics to focus on for engineering

    4U in order of importance - Integration (self explanatory) - Complex Numbers (Entire topic at UNSW first sem mathematics) - Volumes (because it really teaches you the true nature of integration. It is not just some big s symbol and changing powers around, it's the summation of infinitely small...

    When do UNSW med offers get released

    Anyone know the offer times if you're a uni student? There isn't a predicted atar. UNSW takes uni marks and atar in 50/50 ratio so I'm assuming we'll be in the later round of offers because uni results come out much later than predicted ATARs.

    JMP Interview offers 2014

    Yes. Too bad it's in UNE, a 4.5 hour drive. Not complaining though! S1 score was 77.

    It's part of the syllabus, so I'd imagine it would be.

    Studying Optometry/Ophthalmology

    Yeah, true. Actuary and Medicine are so completely different fields that there's no way to make a good argument for either. It really boils down to your personal motivations. Personally I can't stand statistical math/probability and the like so I'd stay on the science side of things. I like...

    UNSW Sem 2 Finals Thread

    Why are engineering/science exams always so early. We already have 22 hour weeks so it'd make sense to give us more time after semester ends to prepare, no?

    Um what is going on - barium sulfate fertilizer reliability

    Careful. Reliability has the additional (easily forgotten) requirement that the experiment is repeated AND RESULTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER. There's no point repeating an experiment a billion times and you keep getting very different values. That is not reliability. (hope someone reads...

    UNSW- What course should I take? And additional questions.

    tl;dr yes you can change Can't reply specifically for the Commerce degree but...If I were in your position I would 1. Accept the offer to UNSW. UNSW is in the top 10 for accounting/finance, Melbourne has a similar ranking I think. 2. Through the year, do courses that are specific to the Comm...

    UNSW engineering courses?

    Also consider a single degree eng + postgrad MBA over eng/comm They're about the same length total (5.5 to 6 years I believe?) and there's always the flexibility of just leaving once you finish 4th year. Of course an MBA is much more competitive than just a commerce degree, but yknow, it's...

    Is anyone unable to log in to the UWS medicine application website due to an error?

    I get this page when I click "log in": http://i.imgur.com/7BnX3N1.png My user/pass is definitely correct; if I type it in wrong there is an actual message saying that my user/pass is invalid instead of an error page. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Problems With Noise While Studying

    Level 10 and 9 have too many people, 6 doesn't have enough desks and is too low for a good view. 8 has no female toilets. 7 is just right :) If you REALLY want a quiet floor in the libby, level 5 by far the most deserted.
