    Ext 2 Random Questions.

    Conics2008, Look mate, I don't gain any satisfaction from showing off in this forum. It will just be like you showing off to year 6 kids.. would you feel good from that? On another point I suggest that you conduct some self reflection, perhaps the stress is coming up to you.

    Prove that if |A| ≤ |B| and |B| ≤ |C| then |A| ≤ |C|

    economics @ USYD or UNSW??

    I am fine if they are spending some time going through an interesting point about economics or whatever they are teaching. But quite often time gets spent explaining how to differentiate some expression or how to manipulate some maths. I think it's an intrinsic problem with the subject at...

    oh you want hard questions? thats easy: (polynomials) x^3 - x^2 -ax - b = 0 has 3 positive roots prove that x^3 -x^2 + bx + a = 0 has 1 positive root and 2 complex roots prove that log_a(x) cannot be written as the quotient of 2 polynomials with real coefficients find all polynomials with...

    economics @ USYD or UNSW??

    Pretty much the same.. I would recommend against studying economics though.. Half the time in classes is spent clarifying some pedantic point (and often about mathematics).

    difference between business and commerce

    As far as the universities here are concerned, they the two degrees are the same.. you have to do basic accounting, maths and economics for all of them, and you get to do the same majors. As a general rule I think degrees with more specific names sounds worse... It makes your degree sound like...

    Actuarial Studies

    Trust me.. don't listen to BS about which uni is better in teaching this particular subject, in the end you get the same recognition for part 1 and no one cares about where you did it. Think about other things. Another thing you can do is to take accounting and do actuarial exams outside

    difference between business and commerce

    Just a different name, they toyed with the idea of changing B.Com to B.Bus at unsw.. IMHO B.Com sounds better though.

    Prove that if |A| ≤ |B| and |B| ≤ |C| then |A| ≤ |C|

    |A| ≤ |B| could mean "there exist an injection from set A into set B"

    Prove that if |A| ≤ |B| and |B| ≤ |C| then |A| ≤ |C|

    they could mean cardinalities..

    complex numbers?

    though it's hardly used except in computer graphics and as a curiosity. If you learn a bit more about the complex numbers, you would see that they represent rotations/dialations in the 2 dimensional plane. and they can be represented by a 2x2 matrix with real entries. the quarternions are...

    Actuarial Studies

    The truth is it's really not that much different between the universities, you should probably worry about logistics more thanthe so called ranking. between UNSW and mac I would choose UNSW though.. it affords you more flexibility to change

    ANU or melb would be good.

    Should English Be Compulsary Poll

    What they should do is to have a compulsory course worth perhaps say 1 unit about the English language and a 2 unit extension course on literature. Those doing 4 units could be exempted from the language component just like how Mathematics Extension 2 students do not actually sit the 2 unit exam.
