How hard is the maths? (1 Viewer)

[Opportunistic]

I'm considering studying biomedical engineering at Usyd and was wondering how hard the maths is. I am not doing Ext 1 Maths and am wondering if I would be able to cope with the maths. I am in year 11 and I am averaging about ~85-90 in maths. Thanks!

You should be fine for first year MATH100X units.

How does admission work? If I get the required ATAR, but I do not have prior knowledge of the Ext 1 Maths course, would I still be considered for admission?

There are no pre-requisites.

85+ ur doing fine. WOrry about it when u get into uni. GL

If you're really worried about the math in engineering do a bridging course after your HSC, thats what i plan on doing but in all honesty you shouldn't worry your marks seem fine

2U is the assumed knowledge for regular mathematics in first year.

2U is the assumed knowledge for regular mathematics in first year.

Maths Ext 1 (ie 3U maths) is the assumed knowledge for all engineering undergrad degrees at USyd. This can be verified by checking official pages such as http://sydney.edu.au/courses/Bachelor-of-Engineering-Biomedical

Finishing first year engineering with having done only 2U and doing the bridging course I can say it's easier than I thought, except for integral calculus (MATH1003) which is second semester. The bridging course only helped a little bit and that was the sections on the binomial theorem and polynomial division a

Calculus part was similar to 4U, linear part could be like 2/3U stuffs. Linear algebra was really straight forward, except the matrix stuffs.
