Biomedicine

What is the maths like in biomedicine first year? is it like year 12 methods?

As of next year, there will be a generic biomedicine maths (as opposed to this year). I therefore cannot comment on what the maths is like. However, if it is anything like calculus 1, it is basically like specialist maths without the kinematics component.

In 2012 there were several different maths streams depending on whether or not you'd done specialist and how well you'd gone. (calculus 1, calculus 2 and linear algebra). In 2013, regardless of wether or not you've done specialist, all students in first year biomedicine will do the same maths subject known as "Maths for Biomedicine".

Anywhere between laughably easy and very difficult. How do you rate your mathematical abilities?

Is mathematics compulsory for every major in Biomed? Cos, I don't think it is for science and the majors are basically the same.
