B.Commerce - Accounting at USYD/UNSW/MQ & maths. (1 Viewer)

[VIPPER]

Assuming that a normal person (not a 99.9x UAI freak like you guys) didn't do year 11/12 maths, would they be able to pass b. commerce - accounting in these unis? (i did do general maths, but this was almost 3 years ago)

I think I will be offered a place in USYD/UNSW this year, but I desperately need some advice.

Thanks.

do you know remember how to add/subtract/divide/multiply?

with a calculator

 

[VIPPER]

Yeah but isn't there harder maths e.g antiderivatives, logarithms, calculus etc etc in commerce?

 

[hungwell1337]

yes there is, in shit like statistics/actuarial

otherwise, the log, e, brackets, ^ + normal buttons on your scientific calculator should be enough

You want to do Commerce - Accounting. Tell me, do they use antiderivatives, logs, calculus in accounting? I don't think so.

Nope.

Accounting math isn't challenging - it's more a case of figuring out the theory and formulae behind the calculations. The actual calculations are as others in this thread have said - simple with a calculator.

Financial math is a bit harder and will require some knowledge of logs etc.

do accountants do annuities?

In first year finance and I'm pretty sure they'll be covered in financial management (second year subject).

general math will do for accounting, if finance or econ then at least 3u.
