.. is it possible to undertake either Calculus 1, Calculus 2 or Linear Algebra during the summer?
Like, as a summer subject in order for me to take up an extra subject during the normal school year?

Only Lin Alg is atm, keep an eye on their entries in the handbook in case this changes tho

Not completely relevant, but considering this is about Maths, exactly how hard is Accelerated Mathematics? I have some friends who were top maths students at my school last year, mid to high 40s in Specialist Maths and they're all complaining about how difficult it is?
What's your opinion of it tram?

It is completely nuts. It is horrible. I have never failed anything in my life and i failed the mid sem for accelerated maths 2 this semester.... like not asian fail, but less than 50 % fail, as did 3/4 of the people in my tute...
There's the real analysis part of the subject which was the focus for the first half of the semester and that's the killer bit, we're onto the calc two part now which is more manageable but i have done no uni work all break cos i've been tyed up with connect stuff so i really need to got on top of it... But yeah, it's pretty bad haha, like all the people in the lecture were the people got got at least 40 in spech and were the best at their high schools but are now struggling... oh well, cramming in swotvac it is haha

@Chromeo, you can take subjects over summer but that means you have to take one less during the year. You only get to do 24 subjects total in your degree, the government won't pay for you to do more

I'm curious as to what you got for Accel maths 1 and 2? Since you got 46 for spesh. I personally found both subjects quite ok, but then again I went on to major in pure maths.. maybe it was just me.
