    Best course for programming?

    whew!! That would be one hardcore game developer... You're probably right though, computer graphics uses alot of maths, and on top of that, most areas of computer science use maths, and some such as Algorithm analysis and Theory of computation use alot of maths... Graph theory, Combinatorics...

    Linear algerbra

    At Melbourne Uni I don't think you theoretically have to, but you need both of them for second year subjects, and most people do calc 2 first. If you did calc 1 first and you want to do second year subjects, then you do calc 2 second semester and then linear algebra either in the summer...

    The hell of group work at uni

    I don't particually like group work. In IT, 3 of us had to make a movie recommender system. Luckily my group was fairly good and wanted to do well, and we did do very well, but one of the guys did barely a thing, rarely turned up and still did well. Even though we did well its still a hassle...

    Comp Sci and IT
