    B Comm/B Eng (USYD VS UNSW)

    UNSW is better for both comm and eng. Depending on your type of eng - 24-29ish hours per week? Commerce I think is like 12-13 hours. So depending on the subjects you do in a semester, somewhere between that.

    can you do a double major with the new UNSW commerce Co-OP program???

    I believe the ATAR cutoff is 96+ for Co-op in general. But the cutoff for a commerce degree is higher so you'll need to get above that. They usually don't allow double degrees. As for a double major in commerce, I'm not sure - perhaps check out their website or contact them.

    Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-section

    Re: Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-sectio Thanks Drongoski, the reason why I say 'magic' is because the solution is less the half the size of the first one xD That said, I've never really had an intuitive understanding of Simpson's rule. You seem...

    Haha, Asian failed discrete - sad because it was my favourite. Did you do it in first sem with Wildberger? He was cool. Join MathSOC now (on FB), apparently there's some sort of drinks night with mainly 2nd yrs. I'm doing a double degree - Science + Computer Science. Planning to major in...

    Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-section

    Re: Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-sectio Sorry it's quite messy xD Fastest I could think of. Generally I'd use general form (y = ax^2 + bx + c) but I skipped the bx term because it's clearly not shifted along x. Looked up simpson's rule on...

    uni options

    If by computer engineering you mean the more hardware related courses, maths and physics (especially maths) would be more useful. IPT is good for a general overview of IT-ish things but I didn't find it particularly useful in terms of skills for my degree so far, only in terms of a little...

    Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-section

    Re: Volumes -- parabolic cross sections --- problem with finding area of cross-sectio ^ area of parabola, then just do volume stuff as usual You can use the Simpson's approximation for it as well, since Simpson's uses parabolas for approximation. But I don't remember what that was xD

    Which to drop?

    You could keep it for a while (12 units) and drop it later. Just in case, if that's what you're worried about?

    What's the environment for a book store?

    The environment includes anything that influences and is influenced by the system. It would help if you described what the system does and its purpose etc in a bit more detail? Yep, they are affected by the system. That depends - does the system affect them?

    Haha thanks, how did you find it? Unfortunately I dropped it just last week because I got epically behind. And suddenly got hit with all these things to do. I shall take it again later xD BTW - are you part of MATHSOC?
