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...

What are you all enrolled in next semester? I've decided to enrol in: * ECOS3902 - Advanced Macroeconomics Honours * ECMT3120 - Applied Econometrics * MATH3969 - Measure Theory and Fourier Analysis * MATH3977 - Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics I'm not sure at this point whether I will regret...

Why not both?

2903 exams had bonus marks this year, if that counts as scaling haha.

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?

Probably doesn't need bump but I'm going to bump it anyway. :D

Bump :)

Bachelor of Economics (Economics, ??) II

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

If you find yourself struggling with writing an essay for science fiction, this could be of use. It's the one I wrote last year. *** Science fiction references a body of literature and film connected by their disorientation from the technological and anthropological norms of the author’s...

Seems like construction fences are going up all over the place. All I know is that Merewether will be demolished, business will move to Abercrombie and Economics will move somewhere on Science Road (?). Does anyone have a good idea of what else is going to change around campus?

Thanks for weighing in, guys. I'm quite sure things like how to integrate are well within the 2U assumed knowledge for economics, but yeah, you raise a good point. And Carrotsticks, I think you've convinced me of the merits of switching whilst I can. Apparently I've already given you karma so...

Has anyone here done ECON1003? I emailed the school a while back about the level of the maths in the course, and specifically, about how the difficulty of it compared to MATH1901/1902. In their reply, they said "[t]he difficulty of the maths in both units is probably comparable". Today, however...

1st year Bachelor of Economics. Yay!
