Student Services - Talented Students' Day for Mathematics Extension 2 Students
Friday 25 July 2008
University of Technology Sydney, Broadway
Talented Students' Day is an annual event run for students by MANSW. It is meant for talented students who are studying Mathematics Extension 2, and aims to be a challenging and intellectually stimulating occasion. Students are exposed to areas of mathematics which they may have not heard of before, and see some of the ways mathematics is used to solve real world problems.
As in previous years, the afternoon session will consist of talks specifically related to the Extension 2. Students are able to choose a talk on a syllabus topic which interested them, or which they feel they need help with.
