Math Clinic (assuming they still run it) would probably be your best option. It runs every week day around lunch time in the honours room (small room on the 2nd floor, I can't remember what number it is). There should be a timetable on the door. It's run by honours and 2nd/3rd year students and...

bail on maths

if you put in the work and (if need be) make use of the free tutoring at the maths clinic you'll be fine with the maths.

Good news about Borwein :). I checked out his old website and he seems to have a lot of interesting stuff on there. I have also been doing a bit of daydreaming lately about coming back in 2009 to do honours, probably a mixture of applied and pure. how has hons been going? crazy difficult? ...

interesting choices. last night i dreamed that i was going back and doing an honours topology course but if i ever do go back i think i will do something along the lines of applied math (easier :)) with a little bit of number theory or analysis thrown in as well if i can.

yep, i'm keen to get back to the maths at some stage (it would have to be in the next 2 years according to degree rules for honours though). what honours subjects are you going to take?

yep, that's the one, failing at it too :) are you doing honours this year darkliight ?

both correct i miss those engineering buildings already :( http://www.newcastle.edu.au/service/maps/campus_map.pdf

i guess one positive is that it makes us look better by comparison :p

10km from beach. ~20 minutes on the train

81 86 87 88 that is all for me :( no more uni (undergrad at least)

demember 10th, 2pm. I dont know where i got this date from, but i am pretty sure it is on this date. I already have 2 of 4 results back and will have a 3rd within a week, so exam result day isnt too exciting for me this semester EDIT: here: http://www.newcastle.edu.au/study/examinations/index.html

second semester 3xxx courses suck! the good ones are all in first semester (at least from what i have experienced), that said, i would recommend topology (3180), algebra (3120), and topics in applicable (3720). Nb. I have not done (and will never do) algebra, and topology has changed...

excellent :rofl: my night was pretty average... one beer, three cokes, some prawns/fish/rocky road then back to the final year project :mad1:

maths is the easy part of engineering :p

are you doing honours next year darkliight? I wanted to, but now i think i am just going to take the 'easy' way out and just work.

how is math2600 going? is eugen still teaching that?

dont worry you're not missing anything good, what it lacks in maths it makes up for in sheer volume of work in mind numbing assignments/projects.

it is entirely possible to have only have done 2 unit and go well in maths at uni, it just might take a little bit more work. one of my friends only did 2 unit and they regularly kicked my arse in maths subjects we did together. oh yeah, civil engineering isnt too hardcore when it comes to the...

transfer is NOT guaranteed*. it is fairly easy to do though. i think if you passed every subject in the first two years at newcastle you would be virtually assured a place at unsw/uow. required software microsoft office microsoft visual studio (or some other FORTRAN 90 compiler)...
