MTH2132

[alondouek]

Has anyone done/Does anyone know anything about MTH2132 - 'The nature and beauty of mathematics'?

I'm tossing up between this and MTH1020, and I'm not sure which to choose. MTH1020 seems to be more actual, practical maths, while this appears to be more for maths enthusiasts - but it does have fewer contacts hours.

Depends on your area of study. I've read the description for mth2132 and it is suitable for those who have minumum interest in maths. Whereas mth1020 is the foundation of further education such as astrophysics or other applied maths areas

This is a second year subject and it is unavailable for you to do in semester 1.

Prerequisites
24 points of university studies

edit: I suggest take up mth1020, and crash the lectures for MTH2132 in your spare time if you'd like. Support classes are just help for worksheets from your tutor.

If I were to take this, it would be in Semester 2 I'm doing STA1010 and BIO1011 as the B.Sc component, so along with the biomed units I'm taking, I'll have 24 points by second semester.
