Would it be too much to ask if you could PM me the Probability lecture notes? I'm debating whether or not I should do it next year or do Probs for Stats instead.

Also, do you know if Eng Maths have online lecture notes or it is all in hardcopy? I'm thinking about taking it in summer as breadth.

I think these video lectures are very useful for probability:

I am pretty sure calculus 2 and engineering maths only have hard copy lecture notes but Paul's maths notes cover all the material for engineering maths relatively well, I will probably use them more than the actual lecture notes http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/. I didn't try to email the lecturers for eng maths because I am almost certain they are only hard copy.

Thanks also for these links, they'll definitely help with independent study for Eng Maths and Prob!

Real analysis isn't even necessary for electrical engineering but it is prerequisite for complex analysis and stochastic modeling. I would say do MAST20006 Probability for Statistics, it is designed for engineering majors. It is more practical and less proof-based than MAST20004 Probability.
I would also recommend doing SWEN20003 Object Oriented Software Development. It is core subject for mechatronic and very useful for electrical and mechanical. You learn Java in that. Engineering comp is the only prereq.

I do have the textbooks for ELEN20005 but not the lecture notes. I will email the lecturer and see if they are nice enough to give me the lecture notes. I emailed the probability and real analysis lecturers and they gave me the lecture notes from last year. I don't see why lectures have copyrights... lectures from Harvard, MIT and other top unis are available online for free anyway. I will send them to you if I manage to get them. I don't know if anyone here has a copy, would be great if they give them to us.
I really not sure what is the difference between probability, stats and probability for stats.
Oh I haven't look through level 3 subjects yet but I was considering doing a level 3 major subj in sem 2.

Would the ELEN20005 textbook be available in erc library? I am pretty sure they will give us the lecture notes given our dedication to the subject hahaha. Oh do u mind emailing those probability and real analysis notes to me? because I want to see which one interests me. Alright, thanks. I didn't know you can email the lecturer and ask for lecture notes

But if eng maths is hardcopy lecture notes, there is also softcopy lecture notes as well?

Look for a textbook by Hambley. You probably won't use it much, the lecture slides are pretty good. The slides will be available in hardcopy and digital copy.

Nope. I asked for them in S1 this year, and was duly refused.

Is it possible to get the hardcopy notes for eng maths in coop or wait for the updated one?
Do u happen to still have the lecture notes for foundation of electrical networks?

Is SWEN20003 or COMP20003 (Algorithms and Data Structures) better for Electrical Engineering?

Could you post an outline of what subjects you're planning on doing throughout the next 2 semesters? (And third year if you've looked that far ahead) We seem to have really similar mindsets (both electrical engineers too hooray!)

I heard that SWEN20003 is more fun than COMP20003 but both subjects are very important, both are core software subjects. I am not sure which is more useful, just read the handbook and figure out which one interests you more. SWEN20003 is a software engineering subject, so it is less theoretical than COMP20003.

I will be doing MAST20004, MAST20026, MAST20029, MAST30021, COMP20005, COMP20003, SWEN20003, ELEN20005, ELEN30012 next year.

I might switch MAST20004 with MAST20006 if it is too hard.

I will probably also overload COMP30026 if I can. It will be an easy subject considering that I would have done logic and real analysis by the time I take it so I think I can manage overloading it.

For 3rd year, I will be doing 4 COMP subjects (software diploma) and 3 ELEN subjects (major) and 1 more subject, either a 3rd year MAST subject or a 3rd year COMP subject.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me man.

So you're basically doing an extra 2 subjects than "normal" students to fit the diploma?

And how do you plan on fulfilling the breadth prerequisite for the Bachelor of Science?

I am doing an extra 4 subjects. The diploma is 8 subjects but I am cross-crediting 4 of them so I only have to do an extra 4 subjects.
I am doing 2 summer subjects as the title of the thread says and will either overload 2 subjects in second and third year or do them over the summer of 2016.

I did 2 breadth subjects in first year and will do 2 more in second year. I will be doing PHIL30043, which overlaps a lot with computing and electrical engineering subjects and 1 more breadth, will look for something super easy.

The reason why I am not sticking to the way the engineering department structured the course is that I want to have more flexibility. I can go into software or electrical engineering and the maths also opens more doors both academically and in terms of jobs.

Holy fuck man, your workload is probably gonna be twice as much as mine over the next 2 years. And I reckon I'll be struggling with the amount I have!

Looks like you're more than capable and ready to do it though, good luck bro.

Thanks man. I have high hopes for second and third years. Hopefully they will be fun and interesting. First year was really boring.
At least I am only doing 1 (may be 2 at most) level 3 maths subjects and not doing physics.
I know people doing mathematical physics and software diploma... now that is hard.
