Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread How long is it gonna bloody take before they fix the "table of contents" thingo???

Yeah, that's not surprising.

In what kind of context? As in content difficulty, workload etc?

~99.70

Except for electrical engineering. UTS teaches "engineering relevant" mathematics for the first year mainly. MM1 and MM2 are very engineering oriented maths and stats and includes some maths which other unis (mainly USYD and UNSW) teach second year such as multiple integrals. I'm also sure they...

Macquarie Uni has Paleontology and Archaeology if that's close enough lol. But USYD probs has the best Anthropology from a social science perspective at least.

Yes.

Unavoidable tbh. If you take uni math the lecturers even make the silliest of mistakes without noticing from time to time. However, through practice you can minimise them.

UTS doesn't organise it, although they do let you contact the industry through their website (I'm too sure). Surprisingly MQ actually organises the internships for you (you get a list of companies to chose from - and they're all reputable) even though most of their engineering majors aren't...

Don't forget that after you finish actuarial studies you have to pass 14 examinations to actually become an actuary fellow (if you want to work as one).

lol I couldn't get latex working properly for some reason.

There wouldn't be many cases where \pi would be used as a variable. OP was probably getting confused on whether to treat it as a variable or a constant. If \pi was a variable then something like \frac{d(2\pi)}{d\pi}=2.

\pi is not a variable unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Since it's \frac{dA}{d\theta} which means it's differentiating A with respect to \theta. Think of it as \frac{dy}{dx} where y=A and x=\theta. Thus, in this case it is treated as if it were a variable. As for \pi we all know it's a constant so. e.g. \frac{d(\pi(x))}{dx}=\pi

Unlikely unless you're ranked ~ bottom 10-20 in all your subjects.

tbh most engineers and physicists are wayyy better than mathematicians at mental arithmetic from what I've seen. This is probably because they actually deal with real values more.

There have been marker's comments on how people used this method in the HSC exams.

So \lim _{x\to 0} \frac{cos2x-1}{x} = \lim _{x\to 0} \frac{-2sin2x}{1}=0

L'hoptial's rule: \lim _{x\to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim _{x\to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}
