Well that settles your first year program then:

Semester 1
306-107 Accounting Reports and Analysis
620-121 Mathematics A (Advanced)* (breadth)
316-102 Introductory Microeconomics
333-101 Finance 1
Semester 2
620-123 Applied Mathematics (Advanced)* (breadth)
306-108 Accounting Transactions and Analysis
316-102 Introductory Macroeconomics
110-042 Chinese 5B (breadth)

you can decide what to do after 2nd and 3rd in november this year when you have had a taste of the commerce subjects and you are more knowledgeable

it is good to have them for a career in finance. a guy working in investment banking told me. you haven't got many other useful first year subjects anyway.

[joechan521]

Maths 1 = 620-121 Mathematics A (Advanced) pre-2008
maths 2 = 620-123 Applied Mathematics (Advanced) pre-2008

[joechan521]

Maths 1 = 620-121 Mathematics A (Advanced) pre-2008

thats because they havent updated it properly

[joechan521]

oh ok, they've confused me....  thx you've been helpful

[Collin Li]

Yes, because the maths structure has been revamped, so Probability in 2008 is still catering for people under the old maths structure.

In 2009, the pre-requisites will change so that people with the new maths structure can continue. You should ask your course advisor though. Things are going to be messy with the Melbourne Model and re-organisation.

[brendan]

oh ok, they've confused me....  thx you've been helpful

it must be the case thats maths 1 and maths 2 is a prereq for probability because of this:
