Apart from GSJBW, any other IBs with major structuring/quant teams in Syd?

Most likely a disaster recovery site.

What does this mean for grad jobs in Australia?

If you guys are up for reviving MATHSOC, PM me.

If you really are keen on reviving Mathsoc, you should go and see Jim Franklin about it. I think he has the Mathsoc bank a/c stuff. Mathsoc doesn't really work as a society as there too few members (especially ones willing to be active) and since most of us are doing combined degrees, our...

Yes, we are :p. Aside, wasn't there a BoS stall at O-Week a few yrs ago?

What if they are doing BCom/BEc :p!?

BCommerce/BBusiness are just names/labels. Every uni structures their business-type degree differently.

Last Yr: higher probability & stochastic processes, higher stat inference, math computing for finance, stat computing. math3041 is a pretty useless maths subject. Sem 1: higher analysis, stochastic analysis, optimisation (I might drop optimisation) Sem 2: PDEs, measure theory...
