Advanced Mathematics @ USYD (1 Viewer)

[lou071]

i'm gonna study Advanced Mathematics @ USYD,
wondering how uni maths is different from HSC maths.

if you studied Maths at USYD, tell me your opinion about the
course.

(i heard u use different calculator in uni, do you know where
to buy it?)

 

[x3.eddayyeeee]

heys. sorry i cant answer your question.
but i ask one myself?

im considering doing advanced maths in uni ; but i cant see how it could provide job opportunities for me.
What fields of employment besides engineering are relevant with a ad. maths degree?

 

[lou071]

my high school teacher told me that is highly employable....
i really can't tell you what field...


by the way, is it hard to get D in Advanced mathematics?

 

[goony]

from what i've heard it's pretty hard, and most of it will be new material...but it really depends on what you're good at.

 

[lou071]

how much is advanced mathematics different from high school maths?

by the way are the mathematics lecturers at USYD good?

lol

I think UNSW is better

 

[lou071]

lol



I think UNSW is better

how do you know?

 

[jb_nc]

Because there has been a thread on it already.

can u post link?
couldn't find it.
thanx in advance

 

[lou071]

if you need help in maths during degree,
can u access help from Maths learning centre? or
is it just for first years:?

 

[goony]

afaik it's for first years, and priority is given to those who lack the assumed knowledge for a course (e.g. if you're doing standard level mathematics (assumed knowledge is 3 unit maths) and you only did 2 unit maths in the hsc).

If you need help, the tutors and lecturers usually give you everything you need. Also, find friends.

mathematicians are one of the top rated jobs, haha

Uni Maths is much more rigorous than HSC Maths, so you pay more attention to the fine structural detail. You learn new stuff like vectors and matrices as well as extend functions from 2 dimensions in high school to 3 or more dimensions. You might find it much more challenging if you didn't do Extension 2 in the HSC.
At uni, you are either allowed any non-programmable calculator or the uni supplies calculators to you in exams. They aren't much different from the calculators you used in the HSC. (I actually used the exact model they supplied in uni, for my HSC less the solar powered battery lol)

do you study maths at uni?
how much time do you spend studying for maths when you have exam or assignment?

When I was doing maths a uni:

1 hour/ night/maths subject.
Bit more on the weekend.
Bludge at least one evening a week.

I would have liked to do more than that, but I can't actually study maths effectively for more than 3 hours a day. (I never did more than three maths subjects in a semester).

i visited the website, and the assignments in maths degree is like exam right?

 

[lou071]

if you want to buy new calculator for uni (although it is not much different from HSC calculator), where can you get it from?

 

[zeromq]

You don't need a new calculator because they hardly ever let you use programmable calculators

 

[lou071]

so the calculator used for HSC is fine at uni?

zeromq, do you study maths at uni?

 

[lou071]

does anyone know job opportinities of science advanced?
is is highly employable?
