Introduction to Mathematics @ UoM without Methods Units 1 & 2?

[ulbasour]

If you are persuing actuarial, i highly recommend you do the am stream, simply so you can do intro to actuarial to see if you will actually like/enjoy the major. This subject will truly identify whether you should continue with the course or change at the start of second year. If you don't do it and want out of actuarial at the end of second, you limit your majors to eco and fin
Also keep in mind 2nd yr focusses primarily on finance, and less on actuarial practice. Thus doing the intro subject gives you some insight into what traditional actuarial practice involves which you do in 3rd yr

Remind me again why you can't do Lin/Calc 2 along with Intro to Actuarial? The handbook states you only need to have done Calc2 or Lin Alg in semester 1 to satisfy pre-reqs.

intro act is available in 2nd sem only + you must do intro macro and ata in 2nd sem. That means, your other 2 subjects must be cal 2 + lin or you can do am2 + actuaries(or another comm elective), meaning you can only do intro act with am2

I think you are confused with what AM is. AM1 is equivalent to Linear Algebra. AM2 is equivalent to Calculus 2. If you do AM1 and AM2, you get exemption from Real Analysis with applications. AM2 =/= Lin Alg and Calc 2.

If you replace AM1 with Calc 2, and AM2 with Linear Algebra, your course works out fine and you can do Intro to Actuarial.

Off to B.Comm site:
*Students who do not gain entry to Accelerated Maths I will take MAST10006 Calculus 2 in semester 1 and replace Accelerated Maths 2 in semester 2 with MAST10007 Linear Algebra.

You need to maintain a 65 average to continue to 2nd year for AM stream or a 75 average for Calc2/LA stream for actuarial. Also, 1st year for actuarial is set bar 1 subject in 1st semester which can be whatever you want.
S1: Calc2/Am1, intro micro, ARA, _____ and S2: ATA, intro macro, intro actuarial studies, LA/AM2
You're right about Introduction to Actuarial Studies tho, it gives you a good insight to what actuarial studies is about particularly the insurance, population models etc

And you can't do calc 2, without doing calc 1 in sem 1... trust me, I've gone through all this

If you've scored higher than 27 (? I think?) in specialist math then you don't have to do calculus 1. I did calc 2 in semester 1 this year and LA semester 2. You only need to do calculus 1 if you didn't get the study score required to do calculus 2.

Ah, i wasn't aware, but i doubt many would follow that path. I think the best route is with am anyway, but its definately more imperative to do intro actuarial

Yeah I agree, AM is the recommended pathway so it's best to follow it. And yes very much for intro to actuarial!

Anyone else share my view that the toughest Level-1 Maths Subject at UoM is UMEP Maths ?
