DID I FAIL ANY MODULES AT UNIVERSITY?

[@davidc4408]

Maths grad here. I became a energy trader and that analytical thinking made me $30m before 35. Also got a 1st class from a Russell group university after a lot of stress managing that and tennis. Maths degrees can make you wealthy if you apply them and also skills applicable to many STEM csreers. Grateful to all my great professors❤

[@CharlesBrighton-mr4ev]

did you become a quant trader ?

[@davidc4408]

@CharlesBrighton-mr4ev no quants need much more education - many have a PhD and build complex models. Energy trading uses mathematical Probabilities and patterns but less complex. More of a skill you need to develop once you are lucky to get a position.

I graduated UCL maths this year. Funnily enough Probability and Stats still had a reputation for making people fail 😂

Hello from another maths graduate from ANU in Australia. I just graduated with first class honours!

I'm working towards that too by God's grace

[@NeilDoesMaths]

Well done JP!! Welcome to the club. You have a bright future ahead

[@NeilDoesMaths]

I believe in you!

I did maths/physics at another top university in a bubble - first year was a learning experience flunked it apart from a few maths courses. Then I improved every year to a first. I always seem to follow a “mighty ducks” arc.

As someone who's too late to do further maths now is it still a good idea to do maths after a levels or is that a bad idea?

Yaaah, very good marks, congrats to you. But am surprised why are there no modules in Computer Applications, Programming, coding, ICT or Networking etc. Almost all Maths courses nowadays are half IT.

Maybe during the summer holidays for some fun. I've made some partials on my tiktok, would have to revise Laplace transforms again hahaha. During the school year I have to focus on A-Level GCSE stuff. Well done with your A-Level maths!

@@chonkycat123the heggarty book one is much clearer imo but I feel that only doing revision off of the book is very limiting considering that some of the proofs he uses for things like continuity using subsequences, the book doesn’t use and I think he might expect us to use them somewhere

If you were to redo these classes and moduleswith your current knowledge and mindset how well would u do

[@NeilDoesMaths]

Mmmmm given enough time to prepare i would still do well, but I do not think I would do as well as when I was 20 years old. I was a different beast at that age!

[@andreaspetrou120]

Hey man great video. I was wondering what carrier options are available for someone choosing this path

[@NeilDoesMaths]

Thanks Andrea! Mathematics opens a lot of doors, most students go into high paying finance jobs (investment banking, actuary, accountancy and consulting), some go into coding/computer science, then some in academic research and teaching!

[@ALADDIN22091978]

I undertook a maths and computer science degree from top university. I got a 3rd class degree with undiagnosed dyspraxia and ADHD. If I had treatment for ADHD, I would have achieved a 1st class degree or high 2:1. Do you know what support I could have had ?

[@Was12249]

What advice would you give to students who will start uni next year ? Like what to expect and how to prepare for exams ?

[@NeilDoesMaths]

Be prepared for an academic shock in terms of formality. At university you have to adapt to thinking like an actual academic. Imo there is nothing you can do to prepare for it apart from being ready to accept that things are going to be super different to Alevels, just remember that after the first term, things get better

[@Aaran-x5b]

How was the way u revised for stuff different at uni from a level

[@NeilDoesMaths]

A-Level I banged out ever paper in existence. For uni, I spent a week re-writing the lecture notes so I had context for what I had to remember for the exam. Then before the exam I spent a couple days looking at past papers and finding patterns in what gets asked. There is a lot less variance at university

I wasn't the social type, but from what I observed of other people, it was decent! In London there is a lot more variety to go out to places. Most other unis there are only a couple places as you're isolated. Good luck with your application!
