Exam 1 topics (1st semester):
Logic & Proofs
Complex Numbers
Lines and planes in 3 dimensions
Systems of linear equations and determinants
Functions of several variables and multivariable calculus (probably the longest single topic)

Exam 2 (Semester 2):
Vector Spaces
Inner product spaces
Linear Transformations
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

Exam 1 is 3 hours
Exam 2 is 2 hours

Calculators or notes of any kind are prohibited for both exams.
Assignments throughout the year make up 10% of the final mark (we had 9 assignments all up).
The exams make up the remaining 90% of the final mark.
It seems like a lot, but bear in mind the UMEP exams are after the last VCE exams, unless you are doing a language you will have a copious amount of time to study for it. I have 9 days from physics to UMEP exam 1...

satya:
ohh thank you very much, btw i am goin to do methods, specialist so is it really hard to do UMEP with it or i'll be fine?
and are there are any resources i am look up, just to get an idea of how UMEP is?

rife168:
If you like maths, do UMEP. The material will be fine just as long as you don't fall behind the class.
You could just search on wikipedia for some of those topics, but to be honest I'm not sure it will be entirely indicative of how well you will cope with the work. I know that I skimmed through the book we got at the start of the year and I was absolutely befuddled by the stuff at the back of the book, but now that we've done all the lead up work, stuff like Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors are actually pretty fun, whereas they seemed so daunting earlier on in the year.
Feel free to ask plenty of questions, I know I did at this time last year.

satya:
haha well that is a relief, hmm i suppose i can cope maths preety well,
btw when u apply, do u need like an average of B in the year 11 studies or something?
