    MATH2881 Quantitative Risk

    If you're a serious maths student, I'd recommend doing something like PDEs, dynamical systems or linear models instead of QR. One of my biggest regrets as a student was taking this course instead of something with some content. Nothing against the lecturer (he was brilliant), but if you want to...

    I know that the best companies, ie. Cochlear, only employ co-ops and summer interns, and if you want to move into banking or consulting, having co-op + another degree on your resume will put you miles ahead of everyone else. EE/Maths is far more demanding than a commerce degree, and *every*...

    ctd.. Also, make sure you do some physics electives in second year, very helpful and fun. You will have a huge advantage when it comes to 3rd year electrical eng subjects, having done 2nd year maths. Co-op is great, it may seem like a bit of a drag in your first couple of summer placements, but...

    hey dude, good to hear! Yep just go and ask Skinner (or whoever your co-ordinator is), and he'll be fine with it. 4/5 co-ops in my year are doing combined degrees (2 ee/math, 2 ee/commerce). You've gotta overload a lot, and you'll always have trouble with classes clashing etc, so my advice is to...

    Why is everyone choosing finance with engneering?

    If you go to an IB with eng/commerce, they will cream their pants and you'll make multiples of an engineer's salary (assuming you don't get fired straight away, and can deal with 80+ hour weeks, and get a HD average).

    to electrical or not to electrical

    Hi, I hope it's not too late for this, but as a 5th year ee co-op who combined with maths, I can offer you some advice. Firstly, YES you can do ee co-op combined with anything, you just need to work *very* hard (ie. finish the 5 years of full time uni + 18 months of co-op work in 5 years). I...

    Chemical Sciences idiots

    If you're in first year, they won't let you overload. (maybe if you have a stellar WAM, but it's only been 1 semester of uni... so WAM means nothing). At any rate, 79 is not stellar.

    Electrical Engineering

    Alright here's my 2 cents on flexible entry program for engineering: It sucks. Reason? Because if you don't know what kind of engineering you want to do, you don't want to do engineering. Fin~

    Suicide in Australia

    perhaps because they've come to realise that life, infact, is pointless and would rather end it sooner than later.

    Valid

    in general, i'd say that's pretty reasonable. Altho, i'd only say about 1% of the population is 5star, probably less.
