I love Math! [For all math lovers]

Don't think so. Medicine is more a biological discipline so i would imagine Mathematics wouldn't be very complicated. But yeah Maths can branch into almost any discipline. If you have to choose a second major i reckon maths is the ticket.
I can't remember who asked but someone asked "is there any career that pays wells thats just maths". Well you might like actuarial science. For those who don't know it its basically a highly specialised field to do with insurance. Great shortage and high in demand. Pays very well. Its quite tough though. You have to love maths and requires a lot of committment. I'm doing it as an undergraduate. So far i'm in my 2nd year and i have to say it requires a lot of statistics, financial mathematics and mortality mathematics. A lot of it is computer work too. So yeah high paying job ($200,000 per year is the average in Australia) but stuck in an office. Hence why my other co-degree is psychology. If i'm good enough i can become a psychologist and research into behavioural finance psychology which requires a hell of a lot of maths. Enough of my life story.
 
I've heard of Actuarial. I think it's brilliant. But I'm not going into it straight away. I plan to do a PHD in Maths once I've got my Engineering degree and a steady job, so I might go into Actuarial when I'm older and would like a cushier job that needs me to do less actual physical work :p
 
love the idea. Plenty of time at uni i suppose. Engineering, Maths and Actuarial. Out of interest what area of maths? Pure? Applied? Statistics?
 
I dunnow, I'll find out when I apply for the PHD :p Might go for Pure, sounds fun. Although statistical could lead to a cricket based job...
 
I've had a bit more doses of the Integral calculus :p And although it is a bit more formula based, it feels okayish. Definite Integration is very, very interesting though, so is Differential Calculus.
 
I show my middle finger to Geometry.That's the 2nd part of maths I hate after Mensuration:mad:

On the subject of discussion why don't you start.:)

After studying one whole year of Geometry and Mensuration I take back that statement:)
 
Done with Integral Calculus. Pointless.

Maths after a certain point is worthless unless you want to be a physicist or a math teacher/prof.

You guys are crazy!
 
Ugh, I am here to whine some more. My AP exams are next month and they determine whether or not I get college credit, saving me time and money as I won't have to take the class in college/uni/whatever you call it once I am there. Calculus is one of them!

I have forgotten everything and am doing some serious studying atm. I have no idea how people retain all the information. I study everything for the unit test, throw it up on the day of the exam, forget everything. Once finals week is here I lock myself up in a room for hours memorizing everything again and just spew it all up on the day of the exam and forget it all again. I don't know how you guys retain the information.

Like I remember concepts, ideas, and what is supposed to happen. Forget formulas, minor steps in between that throws everything off.

If I do well on this exam, no more Calculus ever again. I just have to take Stats next semester and I will be done with math forever!!!!!!!
 
Love Maths Hate Algebra :cheers
