Yes. It's true that maths alone would not be sufficient enough for any field but there are some fields that require more mathematical skill than others. I love the probability/mathematical reasoning/linear programming types of maths. I am actually interested in finance stuffs. Yea, i also heard about it. the stochastics modelling,black and scholes formula and people are telling that statistics are one of the worst things one could possibly studies. Most of the feedbacks i got about this course are negative one. That makes me rethink. And, i came up with another course, which is financial engineering. Currently offered at mmu only in Malaysia if i'm not mistaken. So, you are an actuarial science student? Can i knw where are you studying and how the whole course is from u're experience? thanks.
hello are you still in high school or are you a college student already?
im currently studying at the australian national university and... i would say its a pretty horrible experience for me cause i hate complicated and abstract stuffs...... and pretty much all the later year subjects are complicated and abstract. if i would've been given a second chance, i'll just go for accounting. actuarial's a little too ambitious for me :/
but still, its up to personal preference. i know people who loved it and does very well in it.
so ya, it isn't an easy course, but i guess with hardwork.. its doable. i guess. *inserts skepticism*
oh and im not very sure about financial engineering. it might be something similar to quantitative finance... which is rather close to actuarial, minus all the insurance focused subjects like life contingencies, actuarial techniques, survival model, risk theory bla bla. well thats what happen in my uni so im not sure if its the same in mmu!
