MATH1141/ PHYS1131 rollcall (2 Viewers)

[unsw-maths-guru]

What do you mean do already, i've already done the damn course, look at my profile, HSC 2010.

Sorry Stallion...that was a general `you' directed at the new people rather than you.

My view of 1131 is that it contains quite a lot of new stuff, but lots of it is pretty easy (especially the class tests) if you've done OK at HSC maths. You basically just need to keep up cos catching up is hard. Apparently about 20% of 1131/1141 fail, but I reckon that a lot of those would be down to being disorganised, skipping classes, falling behind and/or dropping out.

No worries man, simple misunderstanding.

But yeah, there is a big fail rate in both first semester maths and physics, so many people get lazy, even kids who totally destroyed the crap out of 4U in high school. Some fail at adjusting to uni life, some can't work on their own, who knows what it is. In short though, a pass should be really easy for you if you put the effort in and go to tutes+lectures etc.

Dr Tisdell made a thread literally a few days ago about his MATH2019 book. He uses his own name yeah, and has had an account here for about 8 years I think.

Nah he takes MATH2019 as well, wish I could have him for it. Pahor is a good 2nd best though.
