Methods knowledge for Calculus 1

[Gloamglozer]

When I started Uni last year I thought I would never do Maths again in my life, and forgot everything related to Methods. For some strange reason I'm now going to complete a major in B.Sci that requires up to linear algebra. I just looked at the Methods 2009 exam and realised I can't do 99% of the questions, and even at my peak I could only understand half. My friend asked me how do you differentiate y = x and I had no idea. I'm also starting Calculus 1 next week.

Am I screweeeed?

If you can't differentiate y=x then you are in trouble haha maybe relearn the calculus from methods, look through your year 12 textbook if you still have that, just remember to consolidate fundamentals. you'll see that linear algebra doesn't require much calculus so its all good and doesnt rely on much year 12 knowledge either, i know that uom uses the same textbook as monash for linear alg so it should be alright

Really?  Same textbook.  But linear algebra is "weird" maths.  "Strange" maths that screws with your mind if you've had no previous exposure to it.

yeah same textbook, both use the book by anton R. pretty good book.
