Title: noob vcaa question :D
Post by: physics on April 30, 2010, 09:16:08 pm
i was wondering for the financial arithemtic and assets and values etc if we could use finance solver as the working out as in stating that
PV=
PMt=
I=
etc etc and use that as working out and all we do is plug in the answers :S or do we have to prove it with fomrulas and double check with the finance solver D: 8-)
cheers for helping :)

Yeah just chuck everything that's on your calc as your working out.

Advice? Don't do the financial maths part of further. It kills the best of us, including me. Just stupid things can happen. Rather: matrices, graphs and number sequences (or geometry, but that is just asking for you to make a mistake) are the best.

Yes financial maths 'seems' really mathematical with all those equations but really its not. Quite a lot of the time you would need to count each day to find 't' variable. It just cannot be worked out with a formula. But I had a look at the exam and the first few questions are incredibly easy..I'll have a look at the rest now..

Well yea, the module doesn't seem too bad. Its rather short so I think its not too worth changing modules. If you would change, I wouldn't change more than one.

Ohhh. Do networks :P That module sounds awesome!! Sarcasm.....

Eh networks requires effort (ie: thinking).
