    Newtons Method Question

    3*sqrt(10) = sqrt(90) basically, one wants x such that x^2 = 90 so the question amounts to solving x^2=90 or f(x)=x^2-90=0 f'(x)=2x now ones knows that 10^2 = 100, so one can use that as an initial guess for x x[0] = 10 x[1] = x[0] - f(x[0])/f'(x[0]) = 10 - 10/20 = 9.5 x[2] = x[1] -...

    Actuarial Part II before Part I

    Well.. if you don't get an exemptions because of marks then it's pretty difficult to get them to let you do part 2 before part 1. If you're not getting them because of degree/major requirements / the like then there's a chance

    Actuarial Part II before Part I

    04er....You know the best place to ask this question is the office behind bindya's :P lots of discretion in these things. What's preventing you from finishing part 1 though?

    economics a reject of commerce?

    economists = wannabe mathematicians. Have a look at the famous economists and nobel prize winners. as with the difference between B.Comm B.Eco at UNSW, whilst there are definitely some people who prefer B.Eco over B.Com, there's usually some truth in these rumours

    Student bank accounts

    I am sure that ANZ and Comm doesn't charge fees on a student bank account (account keeping/withdrawal/eftpos) and pretty certain that NAB and westpac does the same. As with credit card.. get one with no fees since you are not planning to use that so often. Oh by the way.. banks are very sly...
