Anyone feel disheartened by the Melbourne-esque MTH1040?

That's right kids no calculators or notes.

Oh, burn

It's not that bad.. You just have to understand the content properly is all. I hardly used notes anyway.

[luken93]

haha did you only get told about this today at orientation?

At least you got a subject outline session...

welcome to real maths mate, no math units actually allow calculators or notes

[Studyinghard]

On the topic of maths. is there actually a maths thats easy in Uni.

How easy do you want to get? STA1010 (statistics) is methods level, SCI1020 (statistics) is pre-MM level, MTH1020 (calculus) is essentially specialist, MTH1030 (calculus, requires MTH1020) is essentially enhancement maths. Either of STA1010 and SCI1020 satisfies the math requirement of a BSc at Monash, alternatively you can complete MTH1020/MTH1030 stream to satisfy the requirement (much harder).

is there a calculus of methods level or slightly harder. or Algebra of methods level. Those two are my strong points.

MTH1020/MTH1030 would be for you

lol my friend told me about this. Yea it's bad luck, but it's boosting the reputation of Monash Maths in Enhancement Studies. TBH I would have paid more attention if they did have that note/calculator disclaimer. But I didn't study at all and relied on them.

Should've seen my face when I got to uni and started doing maths. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T USE MY TI-89?!?!?!

I never liked using the calculator tho. Isn't it good, that means the figures have to be neat or solvable?

until you end up having to solve -3/19+5/256 by hand, and doubting yourself whether it's right or not because it's not neat, and then it turns out that the RIGHT ANSWER.

[m@tty]

Can you leave it like that? Or does it always have to be taken all the way? If so, that sucks =\

[Russ]

It just means you have to stop relying on the calculator, it won't kill you.

Also, how is this melbourne-esque, i was expecting a melbourne model comment
