maths at uni (1 Viewer)

[mathock]

does anybody here want to pursue maths after highschool... im looking at BSc (Advanced Maths) at Uni of Sydney, but i dont like my chances... best of luck everyone btw

See sig.

Bachelor of Science, Advanced majoring in Advanced Mathematics (Pure)... or some equally posh representation of the name of my course.

I love applied and pure maths. Especially pure. Either USYD or UNSW.

 

[withoutaface]

BSc (Pure Maths)/BE (Aerospace)@UNSW for me...

 

[mathock]

yeah thats the one i want to get into, the 98.50 at uni of sydney... ur in yr 11??

 

[Slidey]

2004 yr 11 is now in year 12, but yes, I sit the HSC in 2005.

I'll probably end up in the UNSW course Justin is going for (minus Aero). I like UNSW better. I'm just aiming for 98.50 because 1) it looks good and b) I think I can get it if I try hard enough.

Note my usage of 1, then b? So, so need to stop doing maths for tonight.

 

[Estel]

UNSW>USYD maths (they sent us promo material )

 

[Slidey]

Elaborate, Estel? Though I agree with you.

 

[townie]

i wanna do maths @ Uni, but i'm not sure whether i'm cut out for it...

 

[PenelopeK]

sydney uni + maths ... very good combo

 

[Estel]

The 4u classes were handed out fold-up cubes sent by the UNSW faculty, complete with a 2004 and 2005 calendar, a spiral of occupations to which maths can offer, and propaganda replete with figures such as "14th faculty in the world, 1st in Australia, etc..." and other appropriate hyperbolae (pardon the pun).

and we get NOTHING from USYD...
pfft!

townie: where there's a will, there's a way.
I would like to do some maths, but I don't imagine myself sacrificing too many electives into the 2nd-3rd years for it...

 

[Slidey]

Townie: I figure that you should as well try it.

Don't want regret afterall. Easy to change to something else if you don't like it.

 

[mathock]

wat careers can come from maths??

 

[Estel]

Research (academia), teaching, finance, analysis, intelligence, other science fields, programming.

Fluffy talk: maths develops conceptual skills which are applicable to a wide range of fields.

 

[mathock]

haha nice, so im gonna be a square the futures looking bright... hmm i dont wanna grow up

 

[Slidey]

Research and programming for me.

 

[Supra]

also actuarial, well i guess that goes into finance but hey its specific

 

[Shuter]

My cousin got a scholarship to go to Cambridge University and learn Pure maths. I don't know what he's actually going to do when he's done.

 

[Slidey]

Shuter, you're cousin is AWESOME.

 

[Shuter]

Yes, that he is, parents made him work alot for it though.

If I don't get the marks for BArts/BLaws at USyd, I'm considering BArts/BScience(Advanced Maths)... but then I wouldn't pursue a career in Maths, I'd get to do my Classics and Classical Studies, then do Graduate Law... just out of interests sake
