here's one video showing a microbot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRMEtCCDR_E&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eng.monash.edu.au%2Fnon-cms%2Fmnrl%2FMNRL%2F%2FMicroactuators_files%2Fwidget1_markup.html&feature=player_embedded link to a jounal article in the info section of the video

There seems to be a lot of info out there (on the web) on the pay packets for Quants/Actuaries however there isn't enough info on what sort background is required to get into a Financial Maths/actuarial phd program. What sorts of undergrad degrees would someone "typically" have when they...

easside00_99 i don't think this phenomenon is restricted to math only...i was looking at some biomedical papers today (and certainly most of a papers i have seen on any subject) usually involve 2-3 authors if not more. I guess that's where the power of internet comes in...now people can...

I pretty much rely on internet forums and a professor to get all my motivation from these sources...to find students interested in math on a deeper level is hard plus finding the time to sit down and chat about maths...so maths becomes one of many things that are chatted about including current...

I did'nt know you could get and honors in engineering just by doing well (how well are we talking??..80+ avg.?) ...i thought it was a extra year of something like that...i am EE major in engineering and i can vouch for the fact that they have a lot of maths in EE i was thinking abt just doing...

If what spoons says it's right then it's amazing that someone can be awarded an engineering degree after any sort of major especially if that has nothing to do with engineering or science. I suppose you do pay a time penalty @physicalanomaly i thought an engineering/science science allowed for...

Yeah i agreee about the melbourne model...it just seems to be just giving the same courses over an elongated period of time... I am not saying i don't enjoy engineering and econometrics ...i really like it...but i think i am ever going to pursure a Phd it would have to be in maths as that...

The employmentability (is that a word?) of an engineering degree is what keeps me in this course because i can't be sure as to weather applied math research will be the "thing" for me... am i coreect in assuming that a math phd takes 5 years??..with the first 2 years usually involving grad...

I had a similar quandary as well...i was planning for a Phd in Applied Mathematics ...i am from australia and currently doing a double degree involving electrical engineering and Commerce (majoring in mathematical econometrics)...from Monash Univ in melbourne The things i needed clarification...

Umm if you want to know about the applications of complex integrals then try learning about Faraday's laws of induction.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

Now this is some interesting news as i read a self help book where the author claimed only 6 hours were necessary. I tried to do that <i usually have to during stressful times at university> but i always found the need to have little naps during the day for abt 20-30 mins. So in the end i...

Umm well if you are talking about a real world application then i got a hypothetical for you. Suppose we have to maximize/minimize a function f(x). Now after finding the derivative i.e. f'(x) (i am not sure if you have done calculus yet). So alternatively think about a function f(x) that...

Well good on him...i suppose at his age he probably felt it was time to move on...i can't imagine anyone trying to push him out of the job...

If you can find the paper on google scholar then it gives you the number of "cited by"

physics2 i think you being misled here badly by the yanks here...lol not their fault too ..they are merely guessing here i finished VCE 2 yrs ago and i assume you are in yr 10 or 11... MM units 1 and 2 start of with linear algebra, quadratic, cubic...and then some general polynomial stuff...
