is MX2 necessary for Chemical Engineering (1 Viewer)

[astroman]

is MX2 necessary for chemical engineering or is MX1 enough?

 

[seventhroot]

MX2 is good for any engineering but MX1 is enough and you will learn it anyways

 

[astroman]

is the maths the same in all engineering courses at New south?

 

[seventhroot]

Yes. There is "normal" like 1A, 1B and there is also higher 1A/1B.

Then there is anal 1151/1251

4U gives u advantage but 3U is good enough

 

[seventhroot]

3u is enough

you learn 4U and a little bit more maths in first year

after that there's not really much official 'maths' subjects its more just application of your knowledge to problems and stuff

Aren't you like 12?

"After that" at unsw anyways, you do at least 2 more maths subjects called engineering mathematics and a stats subject which will be pretty much new stuff

Square I'm cut </3 16 ALMOST 17 PLS NOT 12

haha I was looking up on chemical engineering, idk this is just what I've been hearing from people/someprofessor/course outlines

okay sorry, 12.5

the maths involved are pretty rigrious but nothing that can't be learn with hard work and dedication. For example; I am doing these subjects as a part of my degree: http://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/.../files/uploads/BE_BSc_Plan_3711_MTRN_2013.pdf and you can see there are 4 maths courses just like in civil engineering: http://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/.../files/Bachelor of Civil Engineering 3620.pdf .

It appears that there is only 3 in that pdf so i don't know what's up with that, but the point I was trying to make is that MX2 is beneficial to the earlier years (although not required) but there is more advanced work later on

Isn't CVEN2002 really a maths course? Or at least half stats?

 

[bangladesh]

nah it isnt

 

[unsw-maths-guru]

nah it isnt

...just checked it. CVEN2002 is half numerical methods and half computing. Chem Eng does basically the same thing, but it is labelled MATH2089. Anyway, as people have said, MX1 is fine, but MX2 is better.

 

[JohnMaximus]

mx2 is basically necessary for uni

Unless you're going there just to have fun or some chit- all the degrees which lead to worthwhile careers have 4u content in the first year. So you may as well learn it a year earlier and actually benefit from the scaling+ that way you don't have to pick up some other chitty subject you will never use again in its place.

 

[kalstar]

4u is god.

 

[astroman]

careers advisor says that 3u is enough for all engineering, 4u is helpful but not necessary

 

[SquareHeartsAdrita]

yeah this

 

[kalstar]

What I'm learning now in calc, all 4u.

 

[anomalousdecay]

You'll be fine without 4U if you do lower maths. I know people who did ok in 3U and still did ok in uni maths so its fine.

Its great to do 4U, good to do 3U but if you're willing to make some effort you'll be fine doing 2U. I'm currently a 2nd year chem eng student and I only did 2U for HSC (got band 6 so didn't need to do bridging course) and I've been doing pretty ok. I was pretty lazy with work in 1st semester 1st year (MATH 1A) but managed to pass by cramming at the end. Also passed MATH 1B but I found it a bit harder than 1A. The 2 2nd year maths courses you'll have to do are fairly easy
