Does Mathematics involve much more creativity than people give credit for?
Does Mathematics involve much more creativity than people give credit for?
Usually, mathematicians, physicists, accountants etc are depicted as being 'logical' by nature without really being to think laterally i.e. 'outside the box'. However, wouldn't it suffice for the need for creativeness to be able to apply the contents of a textbook into work? Plus, how about the architects, artists, sculptors, philosophers etc? These apply logic and reasoning to their work, but can also apply the concepts of mathematics into their thoughts and creations.

Answer 1 :
actually i agree with u... its kind of like creativity with logic... but it also depends...alot of times it can be quite routine... like bookkeeping... I think its fairly routine.. but problem solving... thats a differnt thing altogether even artists have principles of design that they should follow... so basically my point is all fields require a certain degre of creativity and logic... but the degree of each is different... artists have the most freedom of creativity but they certainly follow logic... however... mathmaticians and their lot do require creativity but they r more heavily dependent on logic
Answer 2 :
It is never wise to close your mind to alternative methods ~~ if you find a good way of solving problems & calculating then use them ~~ definitely think outside the box but keep your logic & reasoning clear
Answer 3 :
This is a really good question. I don't pretend to be an expert on mathematical philosophy or anything like that, but I have read alot of stuff on maths and mathematicians since i do have a very strong interest in it. You will find that alot of mathematicians actually see maths as something beautiful like art. They consider that to be a mathematician you really need to be an artist or poet at heart. Most mathematicians are far from being purely logical and yes, I feel this gives mathematics a bad name and mathematicians don't get the credit they should. "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas." ~Albert Einstein "The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful." - Aristotle Once yu realy start to get into math, you begin to see the world in a different way. I know that from experience and I'm not even that good at it. Imagine how a proper mathematician must see things.
Answer 4 :
There is a great and vast amount of creativity involved with math and physics. There is also an equal amount of beauty to behold as well. One must obtain the foundations first, but it's that way with most things.......right? Without creativity and insight and inspiration there is little to behold in either of these fields.....or in any field for that matter. There is almost a contradiction with math and physics where one must function within the rules, but yet think 'outside the box'. They are like great puzzles....waiting to be solved, but the solutions can be as elusive as the writer or artist's inspiration. All science with no philosophy is not a good thing.
Answer 5 :
Rover118 echoes the way that I was taught mathematics before calculators came into being. Always find a second method to check a calculation to prove that it is correct. I am sure you have heard the joke about the accountant at a job interview. When asked what 18% of 250.000 was, he answered "what do you want it to be?" That's creative accounting.
Answer 6 :
some PARTS of mathematics don't involve creativity, some parts do. for example, when writing a proof, the actually writing of it, is often a matter of being able to logically show the equivalence of a succession of statements. and once the statements themselves are known, this is almost a pure exercise in logic. however, coming up with an idea behind the proof, can often take a lot of "outside the box" thinking. sometimes inspiration comes from places one does not even associate much with math. many of the profound innovators in math achieved notable results by seeing a connection between things that no one ever had before. the classic example is of rene descartes uniting algebra and geometry with what has come to be called the cartesian coordinate system. what was his inspiration? looking out a window, and noticing that the mullions of the window panes could be used to locate a point in space. mastery in almost any field, is being able to find a balance between the rigidity of discipline, and the freedom of spontaneity.practice is good, imagination is good, but deep understanding and knowing how to synthesize the two is even better.
Answer 7 :
Mathematics is not just the backbone of just the mathematics and physics itself any more. It became the backbone of every branch of study and knowledge. Now we hear terms like quantum biology which understandably uses lots of advanced mathematics on its way in the making. Look at the ancient sculptures, pyramids, and lot of other constructions that were the reminiscent of the civilization of the past. We always wonder how abundantly they implied mathematics into their creations and how mathematics has been an integral part of all of what we see around us. For that matter philosophy has not been exception either. In order to keep my answer short I am not going to go into details except for mentioning about an instance where German philosopher Fredrick Engels who utilized calculus as a tool in establishing his theory of dialectical materialism and social changes.

Whats the best course at university, economics, business management or accounting and finance?
Whats the best course at university, economics, business management or accounting and finance?
Hey. I'm going to university next year and I still haven't made up my mind as to what to pick. One day I hope to enter a graduate training scheme with a bank like HSBC or Barclays capital. I was just wondering which one would be the best choice? However you still hear about people who take Classics degrees or Sociology degrees and still become accountants, tax auditors or investment bankers. So I'm thinking that it doesn't really matter... Please help me out. Your answers will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1 :
Economics and finance seem to be the one you want to get into the type of job you imagined in investment banking. However, degrees in accounting or business management are the most portable--you can get a job in just about any company with those skills. The thing you noticed about the odd majors becoming accountants does throw a curve ball into this advice--that your major does matter little if you are going beyond the bachelor's degree--the MBA and the CPA are the level you need to get to to excel in business or accounting, and if you get one of those advanced degrees, your bachelors could have been in anything. That said, if you know business or accounting is where you are going, why not start studying one of those now so it's easier when you go for an advanced degree (plus you'll have a good major to get a starter job while you finish the advanced degree).
Answer 2 :
If you want to study a business career that deals specifically with money or numbers, I suggest accounting. You can look at the job ads and see plenty of jobs available for accountants, some even with a 2-year accounting degree. The other careers can help as well, but then you will need to come up with an excuse as to why you are taking a job and that is particularly difficult

Group Audits when some subsidiaries are under audit threshold?
Group Audits when some subsidiaries are under audit threshold?
Hi, Just wondering if anybody could please help me clarify an issue regarding the group audit. The firm that I am working for has a client who, after restructuring the whole business portfolio, has recently formed a group consisting of 10 companies. All companies including the parent company require an audit except for 4 non-audit companies due to being under the audit threshold. Our firm has been appointed as the accountant and the auditor for preparing and auditing the individual companys' financial statements and the consolidated financial statement of the group as a whole. Now as our firm would be auditing and reporting on the conslidated financial statement of the group so my question is that what are the audit implications as to the 4 non-audit companies which would be the part of the consolidated financial statement. Any comments would be highly appreciated. I have tried to make the question as clear as possible but would apologise if i still have left any ambiguity and welcome any clarifications. God Bless!

Answer 1 :
The 4 companies might still fall into your testing scope based on the composition of the consolidated balances. If the 4 companies make up a large proportion of an account that meets your scope, you would still test. It is still possible to select for testing because its balances will be included in the consolidated totals. It will also depend upon the testing strategy. If you are using some sort of random selection, it is possible to choose testing samples from any company. However, if using a judgmental approach, you will likely choose selections with the largest balances (so, less apt to come from the 4 companies under your threshold).

Answer 1 :
Yes, they could be working very long hours if they are involved in the due diligence part of the merger. Due diligence is when both companies are subject to an evaluation to determine the proper pricing of assets, etc. before all the accounts are merged (if its a true merger).
Answer 2 :
A merger means when two existing companies merge together and become one. Accountants often handle mergers due to the fact they handle all financial transactions the business makes. An example of a merger is Halifax and RBS
Answer 3 :
When Accountants merge accounts it is known as a Consolidation. A Merger is more to do with when one Company buys another and amalgamates it into its own structure.

Answer 1 :
Keeps track of your money and your spending habits.
Answer 2 :
There are many different kinds of accountants. For example, there are financial accountants, tax accountants, cost accountants, fund accountants, managerial accountants, public accountants, corporate accountants, etc. The field is so large that you cannot know it all. In general, an accountant uses the books and records of a person or company and compiles financial statements. The most common financial statements are: Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement. The Balance Sheet shows all the assets, liabilities and equity. The Income Statement shows the income, expenses and net profit or loss. The cash flow statement is complicated. These financial statements tell whether or not the company has equity and is making money. Once the financial statements are prepared, the accountant can then file the tax returns. This is a very simplied answer. Accounting is a large, technical and complex field.
Answer 3 :

United Kingdom - 3 Answers

Answer 1 :
Yes, clever man, he is correct.
Answer 2 :
What's a companies house a/c? Dividends are paid on a net basis with an attaching tax credit of 1/9th.
Answer 3 :
Definitely not! If a company declares a dividend of £90, it will pay the shareholder £90 and will show £90 as dividends paid in its accounts. That part is simple. Where your accountant appears to be confused is that the company will give the shareholder a dividend voucher showing £90 paid and a £10 tax credit making a gross dividend of £100. The company never pays the £10 or shows it in their accounts. The shareholder has to pay income tax on the gross amount of £100 but can deduct the notional £10 tax credit from the income tax liability. To an accountant this is basic, so if it seriously was his advice (not that you misunderstood) you should find a new accountant.

Accountant, Solicitor or Pharmacist?
Accountant, Solicitor or Pharmacist?
Which do you thinks a better career?
Higher Education (University +) - 5 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I would NEVER be a pharmacist, since I'm a pharmacy technician right now, and I've noticed that the liability and stress they have to go through just to make $90,000 a year is disproportionate.
Answer 2 :
pharmacist becos they earn orite doe and also its only a four year course u get a masters. jobs are 100% gauranteed we need pharmacists. for women its also a gud job becos wen they have kids they ca do part time theres a word for it but i cant remember. also its not much of a stressfull job especially if ur working in a community pharmacy. but it depends on u of ur capability interests and qualifications
Answer 3 :
I am a solicitor and enjoy my career thoroughly, but it's extremely stressful at times and requires 4 hard years at university together with 2 years of practical training, which is competitive to get into. I would strongly advise you to do work experience in all 3 areas over your school holidays to give you an idea of what you think you might enjoy.
Answer 4 :
accountant - steady, tedious, consistent work and jobs Solicitor - interesting, move around a lot for jobs, job hop pharmacist-used to be easy to become one now its not. good pay....lots of people need their meds
Answer 5 :
Well since I want to be a Pharmacist, I would say become an accountant. Less competition for me. No im just kidding. Really its up to you which ever sounds the most interesting. For me I deceided between Dermatology, Pharmacy and Nursing. I decided to go with Pharmacy because its good pay, and less school then most medical careers.

Accountant Vs Teacher?
Accountant Vs Teacher?
Which one would you pick and why? and why not the other
Teaching - 13 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I`m a teacher , so better the devil you know!
Answer 2 :
an accountant would make more money. A teacher is more full filling profession for some. i would probably be a teacher because i like to know that i've in stalled values and left a mark in a students life that he/she will take with him forever. I would not be an accountant because i hate math and there is a lot of math involved in that profession
Answer 3 :
I pick being an accountant for the follwoing reasons: 1) I want a well-paying job. Accounting pays serious money. 2) I'd probably be very good at accoutning, as I have a very logical mind and am good at mathematics. 3) I don't think I would make a good tacher because I am too impatient. I would probably be upset with students for not understanding things that I think are simple. That pretty much would turn the kids off to me as a teacher, and nobody would be learning anything.
Answer 4 :
Be a hybrid, I know a bunch of Accounting teachers that were accountants first. Why not go that route.
Answer 5 :
teacher bein an account would be rubbish such long hours
Answer 6 :
THE TEACHER BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TEACH THE ACCOUNTANT..
Answer 7 :
I would choose accountant, because most teachers I know are not very bright, or nice people and I wouldn't want to be typecast that way.
Answer 8 :
Teachers not bright or nice? Ouch! I happen to be a high school teacher, and right now I would tell you to choose teaching...because it is summer vacation and I am relaxed and stress-free. During the school year, I would tell you to be an accountant... teaching pay is just not worth it. Yes, rewarding sometimes, but a pain in the @$$ most of the time. Remember, the grass is always greener on the other side. Try one vocation, and you are always able to switch later in life!
Answer 9 :
I am a teacher and there are aspects I love about my job. However, the discipline issues are driving me away from my profession. I am in the process of re-examining my life and trying to decide whether to leave teaching, as the discipline problems will only get worse since children are disciplined less and less at home. Although teachers can influence a child's life, I do think this is over played and over romanticised. In a class of 30 kids, with the demands of the curriculum, there is little time to make a positive impact in a child's life. My problem is that teaching is all I know, I am highly competent and I am in my early 40's. If I had my time back, knowing what I now know, I would probably opt for accounting. However, as a mother, there are definite advantages to being in teaching; school holidays being one of them. Accountant and teaching are on opposite ends of the spectrum-dealing with people versus dealing with figures. I would imagine accounting to be as stressful and demanding as teaching but with less headaches and frustrations.
Answer 10 :
The question you really need to ponder is: lots of holidays but not affording to go anywhere fancy (then teach) or fewer high quality expensive holidays (then pick accountancy). Its all about the holidays.
Answer 11 :
Well, I'm a teacher and my husband is an accountant. He gets: more money, longer lunches and free sodas all day...but he also works longer hours depending on the company and is bored stiff...lots of time sitting at a desk (sounds nice to me though) I get: lots of variety, ok pay, lots of human interaction, non-monetary rewards, summer vacation (but let's face it...you need the break)...but....short lunches, lots of parents to deal with, state testing (Texas..agh!), and a husband who thinks your job can't possible be as stressful as his... ;-)
Answer 12 :
I'm a teacher and most days, I love my job. At the start of every year you get another chance to start afresh and its a job where you can really feel your making a contribution to society. I can't believe that accountants get anything like the same level of job satisfaction that teachers do.
Answer 13 :
For money an accountant for part time work and long summer holidays and reasonable salary a teacher.

Answer 1 :
Yes. it'l help you alot.
Answer 2 :
ye m8 it would help alot.!
Answer 3 :
You need to talk to firms with whom you hope to train. Some only want to employ graduates, not necessarily with an accounting degree though. Send to the Institute of Chartered Accountants for details. Try www.icaew.co.uk
Answer 4 :
it's not necessary but it depends where you want to go in your career if you want to hit the heights yes go but if you want to be a normal accountant it's not necessary I knew an older man who went into industry as a manager on the basis of him being a fca[i think] and thirty years later he became an accountant again and he never went to university
Answer 5 :
Unless you have a degree in accounting/economics/finance etc you are going nowhere. In fact anybody who wants to make anything of themselves bar in a trade related industry is going nowhere without a degree as a minimum, preferably a post grad one as well. Plus.............best years of your life uni.

Does anyone know if the ACCA is recognised by the AICPA?
I'm 26 and a Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA) with a BSc (Hons) degree in Applied Accounting. I'd like to move to Florida with my wife and one year old. I'm pretty sure I'd need to become a US CPA but I don't know if the ACCA or my degree is recognised over there?
Other - Business & Finance - 1 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
ACCA is a member of IFAC and so is the AICPA. All IFAC member bodies recognise each other. You will only need to pass the AICPA exams if you wish to practice as a public accountant. If you work in the industry or even in an accountancy firm as an employed accountant you do not need to pass the AICPA exams. Passing the AICPA exams will however increase your employability in the U.S. as they are the most well-known body over there.

can you deposit money in a Halifax easycash account?
if you can, how do i do that, and what should i say to the accountant?
Personal Finance - 3 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
You certainly can, this account is a basic bank account offered to those over 16: http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/easycash.asp
Answer 2 :
yes. it would be difficult for any account to work if you couldn't deposit money into it, wouldn't it?
Answer 3 :
There are two ways to do this- Branch: Walk into any Halifax branch and ask for a cheque or cash deopsit envelope (with EXPRESS PAY-IN ENVELOPE written on it). You will need to fill out details such as your account number, sort code, phone number, post code and cash/cheque amount on the envelope. Put the cash/cheque in the envelope, seal it, tear off the stub for your record and drop the envelope into a box next to the tellers. The money goes to your account after 4 PM. Online/Phone: If one of your friends or family do online/phone banking with any other bank (or Halifax), have them transfer the money and pay them in cash. This will save you a trip to the branch.

If your cash point withdraw limit is £100 can you go inside and withdraw more out?
My daily limit is £100 from the cash point, if i go inside my bank to the accountant will i be able to withdraw more than £100
Personal Finance - 8 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Yes
Answer 2 :
Usually yes, but talk to the bank or cashiers to confirm as each have different rules
Answer 3 :
Yeah you can go to the counter and ask the woman
Answer 4 :
Provided you've got enough in your account then yes
Answer 5 :
No but if you write out a cheque and have the cashier cash it, you can. You don't use the cash point, just write a cheque for the amount and if there is enough in your account, you can have as much as you like. I have been in this position.
Answer 6 :
Yes. You can withdraw cash up to the credit balance of your account.
Answer 7 :
The daily limit only applies to cash points. (my daily limit is £250) You can still take out money inside the branch! I take out £700 in cash for rent at the counter and then go and take out more from the cash point for say food (to keep the money separate) OR take out my limit from the cash point and then go and take more inside if I suddenly need it or haven't taken enough out in the first place. No need to mess around writing cheques out for cash, when you can simply ask for the cash from the counter!
Answer 8 :
Yes, you can go into the bank and withdraw anything up to the bank's daily counter limit, assuming that you have the funds in your account of course. If you have an account that only uses a card, not a passbook and/or cheque book, then take some other form of id with you just in case.
Answer 9 :
Yeah, but there is limits to what you can withdraw over the counter usually £500 - £1200 if you required more you give them 24hrs notice. (depending on hte bank or building society)

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
It depends on what type of company you want to work for, if you want a commercial company then CIMA is probably better but if you want to work for a firm of accountants then possibly ACCA or ACA.
Answer 2 :
Depending on what you intend specialising in , CIMA - ok for Management Accounting route ACCA - financial accounting / auditing of finance. Either way both are credible professional routes
Answer 3 :
It depends on your career plan and what you want to do with your life. CIMA is an excellent course for Management Accountants. They usually work inside a comany and produce financial data to guide senior managers or to compute costs of serving customers or prices for new products. This is very interesting and varied work and jobs tend to be secure. ACCA is for people who want to become certified or chartered accountants, business consultants or auditors. As a Chartered Accountant you could set up yourown accountancy practice and employ others. If you enrol for either course at a good college, they will probably also give you help with English. The link below gives you a list of good colleges where internatial students can enrol.

that's what they are paid to do i immediately think of Mr Burns in the Simpsons when he was told that his accountants got him to pay just $3 a year in tax and he says he's "getting screwed"
Answer 3 :
Yes of course they should....
Answer 4 :
Absolutely !! Not all do but some will
Answer 5 :
That's why you employ / pay them. if they don't then sack them.
Answer 6 :
No. They should first apply the law.
Answer 7 :
If you mean higher return on their investments then yes that's their job, but if you mean helping them to avoid tax than no. There are three things certain in life, birth, death and taxation. Everyone has to pay taxes, just simplify the system, make the rich carry their fair share of the burden and and cut out the loopholes. That way the money they pay towards tax avoidance will go into the pot, and the tax avoidance lawyers will have to find themselves somthing useful to do.
