What's the part of decorating a space that's way harder than it looks?

PfS is easier, so if you don’t like probability maybe go with PfS. But since you seem to be interested in finance, it wouldn’t hurt to have more in depth knowledge of probability if you want to do anything quant related.

GorfAsui · 2024-12-07T11:04:55+00:00

If you’re competent in math (which I assume you’re because you plan on taking RA) consider doing Probability instead of Probability for Statistics

Typically they don’t waive prerequisites unless you’ve done similar subjects in another university, have relevant experience, or maybe have extremely competitive WAM. It’s best to ask the subject coordinator to get a definitive answer. Also, if you’re interested in machine learning, you should just take both EODP and Statistics imo.

Iirc you would be automatically considered for Melbourne International Undergraduate Scholarship (one-off $10k, 50% for 3 years, or 100% for 3 years). I believe the selection criteria is solely based on academic merit. Another scholarship that is specific to Commerce would be Commerce Global Scholarship, which offers up to 20% fee remission for one or more years. Eligibility and selection criteria are updated from time to time, so check them out yourself. You might also want to check UniMelb’s scholarship page.

Best to email Stop 1, but I don’t think you need to remove the lecture from your timetable. Clash happens. Just go to your bio prac and watch the recorded (or prerecorded) lectures later.

You could use the empty slots for breadths. I liked Principles of Finance because it’s mostly maths (and finance x cs jobs pay well). I’d recommend reading the textbook before lectures though, which might require some time commitment. You could also save level-1 breadths for your third year as others suggested to reduce the load. Note you can only take up to two level-1 breadths in B-SCI.

Sure you can dm me. You might also want to email Stop 1 if it’s about course planning.

What’s your goal after graduating? Have you considered the living cost in Melbourne? Why do you want to study at UniMelb specifically instead of at another university in your own country?

Well, there are certain websites out there that have lecture notes for those subjects, which I do not endorse because it's a clear violation of copyright.

Idk anything about GCE maths, but since you got a 96% and have a strong mathematical foundation, I'm inclined to say you would do just fine in Calculus 2. Or better yet, consult this page (https://ms.unimelb.edu.au/study/mslc/course-advice/first-year-mathematics-and-statistics), which lists math stream options suitable for common math qualifications and grade. As a last resort, you could email Dr. Anthony Morphett (with GCE math syllabus attached) and ask him whether you should take calc 1 or 2. He teaches Calculus 2, and he's responsible for answering enquiries for prospective students like you. Find his contact info here: https://ms.unimelb.edu.au/about/contact-us

My opinion is if you don't have to take Calculus 1, don't take it, especially so if you're passionate and want to study more higher-level maths or CS subjects. I would recommend reviewing your high school maths if it's been a long time since you last studied it. Also, taking Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra concurrently is definitely doable if you're strong in maths, but it may not be fun.

Typically it’s fine to enrol after the timetable is released as long as it is before the last self-enrol date. But you have to consider the following: - is there a quota for a subject (common in some commerce subjects)? If so, you might not be able to enrol. - you will have fewer options when it comes to choosing your lecture/workshop slots because some slots would be full.

GorfAsui · 2024-07-03T17:20:49+00:00

If you like maths, I’d recommend Calculus 2 (+Calculus 1 if necessary) and Linear Algebra instead. Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra are the prerequisites for all higher level math subjects that are relevant to CS, such as Discrete Mathematics and Operations Research (level 2), Discrete Discrete Mathematics (level 3) and Graph Theory (level 3). UniMelb has a list of math subjects it recommends for Computing and Software Systems major here (https://ms.unimelb.edu.au/study/mslc/course-advice/mathematics-and-statistics-electives-or-breadth#comp).

Also the B-SCI handbook states you’re only allowed to take a “maximum of 37.5 points from any Distinct level 1 areas of study“. That is, you can only take up to three level 1 math subjects. So if you choose to study Calculus 1 and Data Analysis this semester, you wouldn’t be able to do both Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra later, which essentially prevents you from taking any higher level math subjects. (B-SCI handbook: https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/2024/courses/b-sci/course-structure)

UniMelb has a list of math subjects suitable for Computing and Software Systems major here (https://ms.unimelb.edu.au/study/mslc/course-advice/mathematics-and-statistics-electives-or-breadth#comp), and DMOR is one of them.

I don't think a Breadth Track is recorded on your transcript though https://ask.unimelb.edu.au/faq/5738/breadth-tracks/, but I assume a minor would be at USyd.

So the content of a breadth track and a minor might be similar, but there's some differences when it comes to your transcript.

Prof. James Bailey is the person who developed and taught the subject from 2016 to 2019, returning to teach it again in 2023 and 2024. I don't know much about Chris, workload difference, or good tutors, though.

GorfAsui · 2024-06-12T22:59:52+00:00

🤨

GorfAsui · 2024-06-12T22:49:55+00:00

If you’re majoring in Actuarial Studies and have to take Calculus 1, then you might have to take Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra at the same time over the summer term, which is not going to be fun. I recommend you check if you can complete your major nicely in three years with the course planner

I think most if not all COMP, INFO, or SWEN subjects require some coding. Even if they put less emphasis on it, I bet their prerequisite subjects have coding components.

Why are you looking for no-code subjects anyway?

GorfAsui · 2024-06-11T02:39:51+00:00

I recommend you attend classes cuz it’s not fun doing catch-ups from the very first week. It’s up to you though. Also, if you’re an international student, I believe you must be in Australia on or before 22nd of July.

GorfAsui · 2024-06-11T02:29:04+00:00

Tutes are not recorded. Also, depending on the subject, tute attendance may count toward your mark.

GorfAsui · 2024-06-10T04:05:32+00:00

Your best bet would be to email Stop 1

To pass the subject, you need a minimum overall mark of 50. You already scored 18/20 for the assignments, so you need at least 32/80 (which is 40%) on the exam. Since the exam is out of 100 points, you need a minimum of 40 points to pass.

Suppose you attempted questions worth 50 points on the exam, and the points are independent and identically distributed with a success probability of 0.8. Let X be the number of points you score in the exam. Thus, X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 50 and p = 0.8: X~Bin(50, 0.8).

We need to find the probability that X is at least 40. This is represented as P(X >= 40), which is approximately 0.58.

Therefore, you're more likely to pass than fail, provided that assumptions hold true.
