Preperation for Commerce/Economics ... (2 Viewers)

I'm surprised TC is suddenly interested in Econ/Comm- I don't know anything about it but I think teaching yourself a bit of maths would probably come in handy. Some people reckon you need 3u maths to do Finance >_> (correction: that's what my tutor said)

Nope. Well, i've done all the core subjs. for Fins, and you dont use anything close to 3u. It may help u "preparing" your way of thinking. =/
Even still, when you learn financial math, it becomes second nature. (e.g. annuities)

But 3u+ may help out in QMA.

I'm almost at the end and it doesn't feel like I've learnt that much either.

it feels nice to be young

Alright I'm at a standstill, shouldI just do the entire 2u year 11 / year 12 2u maths course, or should I just do series and sequences and also you guys mentioned another maths topic, but which one?

( I did financial mathematics in general maths, such as annuties, and liked it)

I'd just wait till you actually start your degree - there's plenty of time to master everything then. Go out and have fun, you'll regret it once you get back into study mode...

 

[Sharpshooter]

haha and getting back into 'study mode' takes time, in some cases another year =P

What's QMB about? I've never really liked statistics, but I'm guessing QMB goes beyond the mode/mean/median/SD stuff etc...

Wow, you serious...thats something you'll always use in the finance world...

go and have a holiday.. but if you insist, just get some fat textbooks and start reading. commerce isn't that analytic/criticl thinking based.. atleast in the first 2 years... (ACCT/ECON/FINS/ACTL) subjects you can pretty much get a HD by rote learning (provided you remember 90% of what they tell you).

ha ha ha.

obviously you had better teachers.

affinity isn't a typical student so his advice may not suit all students

 

[Affinity]

§eraphim....... ditto.......

I think I should back it up with:
microeconomics - about 200 definitions, and about 10 exemplar scenarios.
accounting 1A - more definitions eg the accounting 'assumptions'(I think it is more appropriate to call it framework/principles) + doing the books by hand.
QMA/QMB - Maths taught by economics department.

 

[§eraphim]

Casmira, I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this, but maybe you should enrol in the Mathematics bridging program.

 

[Affinity]

I would recommend that if it was free....

 

[§eraphim]

Nothing in life is for free.

 

[Affinity]

Hmm.. how about perform a cost-benefit analysis of the situation...

accounting is a path to ur death

Accounting is where there is greatest demand for jobs. It isn't really a path to death, in fact, its probably an area with heaps of opportunity. Stop putting potential recruits off a future in accounting, Shawnie!
