lowest SS

I see, is the standard for Monash programmes lower than that in UoMelb? Because I heard that UMEP Maths is harder than MUEP Maths...

Yeah, at Monash you learn math that is useful [and you learn how to look up textbooks if you forget how to do something]. At Melbourne you just learn maths, maths and more maths, and you also try to learn some ingenuity.

And books are rarely $400-$500 per subject, more like $400-$500 per semester.

Buying books online seems to be cheaper.
http://www.booko.com.au/ to search for prices/sites.
I usually buy from http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ or the .com counterpart (free shipping and PayPal accepted) depending on the book. Think I've spent around 600 for the year (8 units) including optional books, but the money isn't mine, it's from Centrelink.

MUEP is also seemingly easier because of the separate unit exams and the awesome open-book format. Also, biscuits. Biscuits. Chips.

Anyone that pays more than $250 for a textbook should have bad things done to them.

<.< I hate you.

Yeah, I got my textbooks from amazon but have now realised that I probably would have been mostly fiune without them (there was abouta  chapter that we needed a textbook for)

Out of intrest, what type of topics does MUEP maths cover? And what textbooks do you use?

[iffets12345]

These are a few things I've done off the top of my head:
hyperbolic functions
vectors and planes
calculus (multivariable in second sem I think...)
Newton-Rhapson method
Matrices
Curvature
Limits

we use stewarts, most of the stuff is an extension of specialist, im thinking of using stewart for spesh revision

i got in without doing any 34 subjects

Wow really? You're advice would have been helpful 2 years ago :idiot2:

most of them that i know of don't requre you to have already done the subject.. i'm doing 3/4 chem and muep chem together this year, so i didn't need a chem score..

edit, woah 2000th post^_^

where do you do muep chem vexx?

[tram]

At my school, Scotch College, teacher, Chris Commons. (soz to ans for you vexx >.< but i need to get to 500 posts!)

[chansthename]

I have calculus (Ostabee and Zorn 2nd edition) and linear algebra (can't remeber the author).

and yes topics are as iffets12345(I finally understand your username) said.

second semester sounds a lot harder. multivariable calculus, systems of linear equations (under which we have things like Gaussian and Gauss-Jordan complete elimination and Augumented matrices and their solutions) and there is also sequances and series. I have no idea how far each topic goes (I am reading out a few headings)

lol, i didn't get her username either till she explained it to me >.<

mmmm we have done

Mathematical proofs
Matricies
systems of linear equations
complex numbers/exponential
vectors
lines/planes in 3D
functions of several varibles
multivarible caculus(partial differentiation and multiple integrals)

and for the rest of the eyar, we're just doing vector spaces

Multivarible caculs is really intetesring i found, and the systms of linear equations with matricies is not too hard, it's just a little tedious

hey my school friends found me out at once, it aint that hard to guess

I know, I was looking at Gauss when we were doing matrices, it was beautiful! I loved it It seems harder though next semester, which worries me cause I wasn't following sem 1 all too well haha.
Sequences and series doesn't look good to me, I'm not good at that...but im all for multivariable

[tram]

yea...we don;t even touch on sequences and series....btw iffets, good to know that ur working so dilgently at work that you have time to go on vn

[iffets12345]

lol, I have so many liberties at my work.

YOU MAKE BUBBLE CUPS AND DRINK BUBBLE CUPS AND FB/VN I WISH I HAD UR JOB
