Basically if you don't know the maths, your job isn't important enough to need it, and you are paid accordingly.

....Or you're too important to need to know it, and you are paid accordingly. haha.

Yeah, in all seriousness, unless you want a future of developing enterprise software, maybe you don't need so much maths or physics.

If you want to develop anything that I would consider cool (games, simulations etc.), you're going to need to know the maths (well not just maths, algebra and probably calculus) and how to apply it.

Where do you get the idea of this programme coordinator jealously guarding the entrance to the first-year of undergraduate degrees?

I could study rocket science (no I couldn't) then act like a retard on the internet, wouldn't make me useful in any particular thread. Cut the shit.

Aw, you're just so precious ^_^

Seems like you just got some use out of my 'troll' comments, so ionno.

Also I did a software engineering degree at Massey, so you could actually pick up some useful information if you open your eyes and take your fingers out of your ears, despite my not presenting it in your preferred, ego-massaging manner.

The real issue here is why are people so emotionally attached to their advice and opinions? Why do they care so much about it that they get angry when people do something else? It's really sad and pathetic.


lol.

I think Massey does offer a few papers you might be interested in.

I know, I know, your sister got 'screwed' by them, but I don't trust that your opinion of 'getting screwed' aligns with anyone else's, in the entire world.

And fyi, university computer science maths paper entrance requirements are generally a bit more than 'I learnt some maths off the interwebs', so hopefully you've got something a bit more substantial.

Does it? Pretty sure it would have cost them a reasonable amount to transport...

Depends on upkeep, but yeah, I can't see us wanting to shell out for continuous aerial reconnaissance of the Southern Ocean, compared to the economic benefits.

Why didn't anyone tell him to try googling a blade of grass?

You guys just don't have the comic panache.

Well not really. Unfortunately they've only got your mum's word for it that it was someone else, and they'll probably see it like that.

There will be live streams of the NASA control room and stuff.

There cant be any live streams of the landing on Mars because;
1. There's a 14 minute delay.
2. The bandwidth is limited, and required for important landing stuff.
3. There's no guy standing on Mars with a video camera.


But surely someone has a smartphone?
