Title: Is Uni Maths Difficult?
Post by: wildareal on January 24, 2010, 01:21:53 am
Is Uni Maths Difficult, from a background of methods in yr 11 and spec in yr 12.  :)

Looking the UMEP Maths coursebook, it looks very hard. However a friend who did some of the material in China, and is doing UMEP Maths this year, told me it's not that hard =/

However I also heard that MUEP Maths is way easier than UMEP maths

my friend told me that MUEP is easier than spesh, and that he just copied out stuff from past exams as they have open book tests.

On a completely irrelevant note he is doing Med this year.

that is infact true, about it being easier than spesh, purely based on the fact that every year the exam is like 80% identical to the previous year they only just change the numbers and there is like one or two questions which is different.

This year my lecturer hinted that he might rewrite the exam. At that point I thought, "Oh my god I'm screwed", since I was relying on their lazy tradition of recycling exams.

Nah, MTH 1055. Next semester is MTH 1085.

I've heard it is the first semester of first year stretched across two semesters.

We use Calculus 6e early transcendentals J.Stewart for the calculus section, and some book of notes written by a lecturer for the linear algebra component of the course.

5 day cram before exam and still did ok, so i would say no. Just get sum1 smart to do a past exam for you preferably the year before one and learn the working out, as 80% of the exam paper is generally repeated just with different numbers and sometimes different alterations to the question.

It is challenging though, I am finding that it takes a bit of thinking, I don't know about the exam yet but so far it has been that the assignments have similar questions.

I sincerely hope that this year will be the same (just need to find time after chem to do the past exams)

Really it is quite fun when you know what to do (most of the stuff is similar to spesh and methods) however I find that I have to self teach it before we learn it in either class.

Yeah I realised they weren't for 1055 yesterday. I saved them under the wrong name. I actually have hardcopy answers for some but they're written out since I did them together with my friends ... that said, it's open book, you shouldn't struggle much. GL.

The thanks at the end was for the good luck and for the exams for 1085.

I did get all my exams from blackboard (did you look in the library for past exams?)

there was a folder saying past exams etc and it had up until 2003 or something like that O_O!!!
Nevertheless, I'm sure you know by now that all we REALLY needed was 2008-2007 ;].
