ah yes, chemistry was great!

consider Macquarie for actuary, their program is very well established for most other commerce-related majors, UNSW seems to edge out USYD, excpt if u want to transfer into commerce/law in 2nd year, in which case USYD is considered 'better' , because of their law faculty (and their new...

keep at it, and know that MX1 scales through the roof!!

i agree with dp 45ph is too much, despite being a uni lecturer - i would say 35 is the upper upper limit that u shoudl look for (although i know 08er's charging 35 for subjects like PDHPE now, which i find ridiculous, so in that context, 45 is not too much for a uni lecturer in maths)

i'll probs be going to info day

yeh, thx for the info guys!!! looks like UNSW is the place to be for maths (although i always thought [perhaps wrongly, now that i look back at it] that USYD had a better maths department) i'll do some thinking over the next week, and will be attending Info Day at UNSW and Macquarie for some...

Re: Best Chemistry Textbooks/Guides? lol u noticed!!!! (i thought i was the only one that would) :lol: yeh the layout and diagrams and stuff is all exellent, but also the content does match up to how good it looks!

distance - UNSW is further than Macq, especially when the new train station opens in the next couple of months @ macquarie! Uni environment - well UNSW has better buildings, gotta give it that, and is a member of teh Go8 - a very modern campus. Macquarie is more open, lots of green (and a...

Re: Best Chemistry Textbooks/Guides? agreed - i used all 3 above, plus the Dot Point book

see wrong_turn, this thread helped namu out as well :wave: i am fairly certain i want to be an actuary - i want to apply high level maths in a commerce environment so i'm gettingt the sense from here and other threads UNSW has a better maths dept., but macq's actuarial course is seen as...

Re: Best Chemistry Textbooks/Guides? check out the new jacaranda one - its by geoffery Thickett (or however u spell it) - it really is top notch, even better than conquering chem i rekon!

lenz's law - it OPPOSES the direction u see from the RHP rule it's hard to explain over the net like this, but yeh try watchin a vid it might help

[bored of studies being down ahas made me think more and more about macq vs UNSW for actuarial] basically ive decided Comm / Sci majoring in actuarial and mathematics - so you are sure u get part II exemptions in 4th year of this double degree??? also, i'm confused as to whether to go to...

macquarie needs a 'grade point average (GPA)' of 3 i believe this equates to 65+ (credit)

congrats dp, which uni scholarship offer u gnna take + which course?

georules, dunno, but i got the merit one from them on monday (i won't be accepting it though, so i dunno if they then give it to someone else?) danz90, sorry man, but it's not the end of the world, at least u can easily make it into your course, then i hear they do offer sholarships to 2nd...

yep got macquarie uni scholarship, so i'll probs go there - did u get one from macquarie jenecis ?

thx guys yeh it has been pretty great i'm leaning towards Macquarie now - u only need a credit grade point average (65+), compared to 80+ for Scientia @ UNS, plus actuarial is said to be better there, but still haven't made the final decision
