If you make good money then, you do get hit with double tax on the money excess of the tax free threshold.

This number will be anything over $95,100 USD in 2012

My one way plane ticket has officially been booked. First to Asia for a little, then off to home.

Its been fun being an expat, but now its too expensive (damn US double taxation)

out of curiosity, why not actually enjoy your summer before college. It may be the last time for quite some time you'll get to hang out with your HS friends.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but Calc AB is taking Calc 1, which is a semester long course in university and making it into a full year course for a high school student. It is a joke compared to the 1st actuary exam. I believe Calc AB does not even integrate, am I right? The 1st actuary exam will assume you know Calc 1-3 and can apply it to probability issues.

It sounds like it is more than you can chew at this stage and I would say try to learn the material, but do not assume that since Calc AB was easy this will be easy. Do not get disappointed if some/all of the material for this exam is out of your grasp at this stage in your math career.

Just for the sake of playing devil's advocate I am not sure a mathematics degree opens much more in terms of career options. You mentioned financial analysis earlier. You can get that sort of job (probably much easier) with an actuarial science degree. You actuarial science degree is applied mathematics and some finance/economics knowledge. That is much more applicable to financial analysis (as actuaries do that to a certain degree) than someone who can let me know if an infinite series converges.

As a math major myself I know how it is. But if you know you want to be an actuary, why did you choose a math major. After going through all of it, I can safely say you will never need to use topology, complex analysis, real analysis, or even differential equations in the exams or in your daily actuary life.

I was a math major because I liked math and I didn't have actuary on my career path. I sort of fell into it halfway through my junior year

you will need to have Calc III skills and a course in calculus based probability. If you can teach all that to yourself, then you do not need to be going to get your undergrad degree and just go for some exams and apply for a job

really cool idea,

but it just seems easier to pay $1 and never get those bags accumulated to begin with. Or you get free tote bags from somewhere else.

To me, saving a dollar or two is not worth spending an afternoon making that. I value my free time.

One thing I remember reading about in Australia is that different degrees cost different amounts of money. The reason for this is:

Materials (A math professor really only needs a white board and some markers while a chemistry professor may need a hNMR, mass spectrometer...) The costs of the equipment, if not donated, should be paid for by the students using it.
What type of lecturers/professors you have. If an art lecturer is on average a Master's degree holder and gets paid less than a finance lecturer, then the finance course should be more expensive. However, the art degree would still have to pay for the extra art supplies as the chemistry degree students pay for use of expensive machines

I binomial can easily be thought of as flipping a coin. Here 50% chance a head, 50% chance tail.

first lets look at the most simple binomial, a bernoulli. This is a binomial with one trial. So if you only flip the coin once it is a bernoulli.

Now a binomial distribution is 'memory-less', this means that each event is independent and does not affect the next event. If we go back to the coin, if I flip a coin and get a head, this will not impact the next flip as we have a 50/50 shot of heads/tails each time.

So an event can either 'pass' or 'fail' the trial. If I were to roll a dice 30 times and we want to see how many times we roll a 5 or greater. So we can get a 'pass' (or P) if we roll a 5 or a 6. As a dice has 6 sides, two of the sides make a pass. 2/6 = 1/3

n=30 p=1/3

On average we will have 10 rolls with 5 or greater E(x) = n * p = 30 * 1/3

The variance, also known as the 2nd moment about the mean is calculated as E(x)² - E(x)² for all distributions, but there is a special shortcut is a binomial. Variance = p(1-p)n²

As I am not sure how much more detail you need or what is your specific question I will leave it at this, but feel free to ask a followup.

Do you get paid to be a GM of a big guild (in real money USD, GBP, AUD...)? If not, what is the benefit of being the GM? If you get paid, do you mind telling us how much?

In the spring, when the ground is more fertile and temperatures better for growing, the plant makes bigger xylem cells and thus the 'lighter' wood is made. When it starts turning to fall, the new xylem cells are smaller and more dense. This makes it appear dark.

Xylem and phloem make up the big transportation system of vascular plants. As you get bigger, it is more difficult to transport nutrients, water, and sugars around your body. You have a circulatory system if you want to keep growing. As plants evolved to be larger, they also developed their own kind of circulatory systems. The main parts you will hear a lot about are called xylem and phloem.

It all starts with a top and a bottom. Logically, it makes sense. Trees and other vascular plants have a top and a bottom. The top has a trunk, branches, leaves, or needles. The bottom is a system of roots. Each needs the other to survive. The roots hold the plant steady and grab moisture and nutrients from the soil. The top is in the light, conducting photosynthesis and helping the plant reproduce. You have to connect the two parts. That's where xylem and phloem come in.

The xylem of a plant is the system of tubes and transport cells that circulates water and dissolved minerals. As a plant, you have roots to help you absorb water. If your leaves need water and they are 100 feet above the ground, it is time to put the xylem into action! Xylem is made of vessels that are connected end to end for the maximum speed to move water around. They also have a secondary function of support. When someone cuts an old tree down, they reveal a set of rings. Those rings are the remains of old xylem tissue, one ring for every year the tree was alive.

But how does the plant eat? Most plants have green leaves, where the photosynthesis happens. When those sugars are made, they need to be given to every cell in the plant for energy. Enter phloem. The phloem cells are laid out end-to-end throughout the entire plant, transporting the sugars and other molecules created by the plant. Phloem is always alive. Xylem tissue dies after one year and then develops anew (rings in the tree trunk). What is the best way to think about phloem? Think about sap coming out of a tree. That dripping sap usually comes from the phloem.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.
