Can anyone else answer all of my questions from above ?

Thank you.

visit co-op website and search for text books for the course.

Cool,

Quick question: you know the lecture notes, can they be accessed online free of charge ?

Also, for tutorials, are questions given for homework ?

[jtyler]

The School of Maths has their course notes printed by KopyStop on Mountain St (Broadway). Usually they're not available until right before uni starts (or during the 1st week). There aren't homework questions as such (aside from two assignments worth 5% each), but I guess questions you don't complete in the tutorials are theoretically homework. Tutorial sheets are printed at the back of the course notes.

[konkzz]

Do I have to purchase these course notes ?

Are they sufficient for this unit of study or would I need textbooks ?

No.

You have a small set of preparatory questions that they recommend you complete before each tutorial. During the tutorial you complete the set of questions given (by the way, these questions alone ARE in fact available online free of charge, but the lecture notes aren't). You finish what you haven't done after the tutorial in your own time, and they post up solutions within the week on the math website.

You really don't need anything other than the course notes that you purchase from Kopy Stop for MATH1901/2.

[konkzz]

Cool, thanks. By the way, how much do the course notes cost and when should I purchase them ?

Is there is a link to these questions ?

Also, enrolment variation is now available. Since last day to add a unit is the 13th of March and last day to drop a unit is 31st of March, if I decide to drop Advanced MATH 1901 and 1902 after the 13th but before the 31st, would I still be able to add MATH 1001 and 1002 ? Can this all be done online or do I have to see the faculty ?

Course notes cost between $10 and $20 each. You buy them at KopyStop broadway (http://www.kopystop.com.au/). I think there's a facility to drop from advanced maths units if you contact the school of maths, even though its normally not allowed.

You might be able to add a unit up to the 20th with approval from the associate dean, but otherwise no. There might be avenues with switching between the courses but given they are different that might not be possible. Check with the first year office on level five Carslaw about it.

Though, wouldn't MATH1901 and MATH1902 be similar to MATH1001 and MATH1002, with the Advanced units going in more depth ?

It says "withdrawn" on my enrolment variation for MATH1001 and MATH1002. Can't I just re-enrol in them if I decide to drop MATH1901 and MATH1902 after the 13th of March ?

[iSplicer]

hmmm.... sorry If I am hijacking but, what career prospects does one have with an Adv. Mathematics degree, other than teaching? What about pay?

Thanks

Applied Mathematicians for example are useful in research, scientific analysis and the financial sector to name a few.
Pure Mathematics generally do research but I think they can move into applied fields as well.
Statisticians....well everywhere lol

Im starting the same degree. Im doing 1901, 1902, 1903 but regular statistics 1005 cuz its gay

[jtyler]

In my experience statistics is less interesting the lower the level you study it at...

If I keep MATH1901 and MATH1902 and get at least a pass for each, can I pick up MATH1903 and MATH1905 in semester 2 ?

Unit of Study: MATH1903 - Integral Calculus and Modelling Advanced

MATH1903 is designed to provide a thorough preparation for further study in mathematics and statistics. It is a core unit of study providing three of the twelve credit points required by the Faculty of Science as well as a Junior level requirement in the Faculty of Engineering.This unit of study parallels the normal unit MATH1003 but goes more deeply into the subject matter and requires more mathematical sophisticaton.
Classes: Two 1 hour lectures and one 1 hour tutorial per week.
Assessment: One 1.5 hour examination, assignments and quizzes.
Pre-requisites: HSC Mathematics Extension 2. This requirement may be varied. Students with an interest in mathematics, but without HSC mathematics Extension 2, should consult the unit of study coordinator.

Same goes for math1905 so yes
