Proposed changes to the Mathematics syllabus: Thoughts? (1 Viewer)

[eyeseeyou]

Look at the new syllabus.

Look at how many dot points fall under stats.

Compare it to how many dot points in total.

Interpolate.

Do you have the link leehuan?

I guess conics is useful to some extent, only to a specific group of people (astronomers) however statistics is more useful and applied to everyday life hence it would replace conics

This is the "usefulness" of conics but only to a limited extent: http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.02/william1.html

The usefulness of stats over conics is significant lol

You won't get it unless you actually studied stats at uni. Alternatively, google is your friend.

Do you need 4U in order to study stats at uni Trebla?

JUST do what you want. Or research

Usually unis only require 3U for the harder first year maths courses though for your reference. Apparently the first year course I do is the hardest first year maths course and it just expected a really high mark in 3U (or a substantially high 3U + 4U mark)

Most commerce/science degrees require you to take introductory statistics course.

That's true but with the commerce ones; they only require 2U generally

 

[eyeseeyou]

Is 3U compulsory for specific courses?

Don't think there's HSC prerequisites at the moment, just 'assumed knowledge' (though HSC 2U Maths will be becoming a prerequisite for many degrees at USyd).

I thought it was for like actuarial studies and advanced maths

It's for 62 degrees at USyd. You can read more about it here: http://smh.com.au/national/educatio...ompulsory-for-62-degrees-20160322-gnp12v.html.

I meant 3u was compulsory for adv maths and actuarial studies

Never was.

At the moment, I don't think there's really any HSC subject prerequisites for anything, just 'assumed knowledge'.
