There are more topics

In the purple calc book, on page xv, it says that only chapters 1-3 get assessed in Test 1.

The past papers for test one seem to be only testing chapter 1 and 2 though. Not even all of chap 2 as well.

On S1 2010 Test 1 V7b, there is one question about intermediate value theorem which is in Ch3. So, I'll just read over all of ch1-3 just to be safe.

Oh true. Well let's hope and pray they just focus on chapter 1 like the past papers do

When your timetable says thesis what do you do during them?

he works on his thesis lol

^ yeah that


Basically involves me sitting in the Honours Room at my desk looking at mathematical papers or books, trying to figure out problems I need to solve, or just getting a grasp of wtf I'm actually doing

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

I know that I have to declare a major at some point during degree, but is it necessary to declare at least one, by second year, first semester or can i even declare it in 3rd year. Again, thanks so much , queenroot, i really appreciate your help.

Some like my maths degree are 3rd year so you might want to check for your own degree

maffs


Since you're a 15-er, I don't know how much maffs you know but like... it's in the field of number theory. (if you want me to expand, let me know - i just don't know how much you know about it)

yeah well I'm going off my science dgeree, so not sure about yours. Look in the handbook it usually says when to declare.

Probably not too much but if you don't mind expanding a bit more would be nice. Maybe just into what area within number theory?

Can I take it literally? A field that has a discrete/measurable number of elements?

Hey Queenroot (just posting this here cuz your inbox is full),

Just another question in regards to the reflective essay- how many references would the average student be expected to put in? Just because other than the primary and secondary article being addressed in the essay and some definitions, I can't think of anything else to put in. And it seems to be an awfully small list ahaha

Thanks again

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016

Out of curiosity, do you think that the LAT test will make it easier or harder to get into UNSW law?

I was considering UNSW law, but I don't want to apply if it's going to be easy to get into.

woops okoay I'll empty it

Since it's a reflective essay it's probably okay not to have too many references

But usually 11 is a good min number

How do people cope with 9am stuff... I wake up at 8

don't even cope
pretty much a walking zombie in the morning
