MATH1013 vs MATH1005 (1 Viewer)

[focusign]

Which one is more bearable for someone who took General Math for HSC and MATH1111?

I know a fair amount of people who did 3u and found math1005 very hard. They didn't really like statistics though, so perhaps if you like stats it'd be more favourable for you. I don't really have any idea how math1013 is, so I can't really help you with that.

In your position, I'd personally do MATH1013, since I struggle to imagine how it can possibly challenge MATH1005 in terms of difficulty. But in the end, you're really just choosing between integral calculus (MATH1013) or probability (MATH1005).

Sounds like you are considering this as a burden (what is easiest) than an opportunity to improve on your (weak) maths.

It would depend on what degree you are doing.

IMHO, an appreciation (though not necessarily a mastery) of stats is the most critical maths skill any professional can have. Regardless of what profession you do, being able to understand (though not derive) graphs, predictions, analyses etc of data is essential.

Did you do biostats at some point? (I think it's 1015?)
If so, don't do stats. I don't think you can count both to the degree.
It might be better for you to do 1013 now and biostatistics in Sem 1 2017
