    B Math & Finance

    Haha, uni and course bashing are once again evident in these forums. Aside from the bias you all have (or might have) any maths degree teaches you how to apply things to the real world. You could virtually do anything in life! As far as career prospects go (and knowing the way this forum is...

    B Math & Finance

    I wouldn't be too judgemental based on UAI marks when selecting an applied finance degree. UAI's tend to go down when there is a decrease in supply of students into this course. It was 88-90 after I completed my HSC. Find out more info about the course itself. Hi Seraphim, thanks for that...

    B Math & Finance

    Not sure about what you mean by theory of dynamical systems. If you are referring to non-linear programming, integer programing or something along those lines, then that requires some lateral thinking. Seems kinda like pure maths to me. Ask practical professors in your'e course, they should be...

    B Math & Finance

    Continuos optimisation is more interesting and challenging. Anything to do with discrete mathematics is kinda pure and less practical. Anyway, that's my advice. The greater the useful knowledge you gain from uni, the better you are off in the long run. Maybe you should consult someone like...

    B Math & Finance

    The most relevant maths subject you will find is anything to do with operations research modelling and optimisation. Logistics, Supply Chain and transportation problems are areas where OR techniques will be relevant. Linear Algebra, DE's and Discrete Mathematics (probably the least relevant of...

    Merchant banking

    Recruiters don't look at the past anymore, especially just grades and stuff....innovation, enterprise, and being an entrepreneur is very typical of the Australian spirit. That's why Australia is strong as a nation. By the way, does anyone know how it's possible to become a quantitative analyst...

    accounting. is it hard?

    From my experience, finance is the most challenging and rewarding, especially if you are doing a specialized course in it. You must attend most of your tutorials and lectures for finance, as the theory complements the practical aspects. I don't do much accounting, so can't give you advice there...
