umm off the top of my head in number patterns you do:

-first order difference equations
-second order difference equations/Fibonacci sequences
-arithmetic sequences
-geometric sequences
-sum of 'x' amount of terms
-sum to infinity for geometric sequences with -1<r<1

it's not really that advanced haha...

haha yeah true... but i looked through it in the text book and it seemed so much more complex than matrices so that put me off real quickly :P
Still deciding... which one is easier to make mistakes in??

sequences and series for sure. As I said in a previous post, questions can be ambiguous so if you interpret the question wrong you stuff it up. With matrices, questions become repetitive very quickly. Stick with matrices mate. You wont regret it.

nah, number patterns is piss easy as well.  especially once you apply my special formulae which the textbooks don't mention hehe.  they're really not that special or anything, it's just that the textbooks don't distinguish between them, and it is really important that you understand this concept.

Sequences and series is easy as.

Then again, all of further is easy.
