Is there any 4unit in this subject? I'm bored, and I can revise/learn the shit if there is.

Learn integration by parts, recursive integration techniques, vector arithmetic, implicit differentiation. Thats about it. Oh there is complex numbers in MATH1251.

Ah I thought that'd be what I'd need. Cheers I've forgotten most of that, so I'll crack out the hold terry lee and give it a go. Thanks dude

should just ask someone for the course notes.
hey guys im currently enrolled in math1151
just wanted to ask
how hard is it in terms of getting pass/credit/d/hd ?
and umm i herd it is possible to do math1131/1141 as an alternative to math1151 for actuarial students
is this true? and also is it recommended (like in terms of getting a better wam) ?

I am thinking of doing engineering/ actuary and I did math1131 and actuary sent me an email saying it is allowed. Math1131 is pretty easy.

Actuarial would prefer that you do 1151/1251 as it does things that you'll probably need for ACTL1001 earlier than if you were doing 1131/1231 (or the higher versions). By the end of the year 1151/1251 has covered a bit more stuff than 1131/1231 (especially in multivariable calculus) but if someone has done 1131/1231 and then transfers, they don't make them cover it all again. If someone fails 1151, they usually get them to do 1131 in Session 2 and then 1231 over the summer to catch up.
1131/1231 probably has more engineering type examples, so for Eng/Act students it is probably a bit of a toss-up - you should check with maths as to what they advise.
Actuarial seem to use 1151 as a bit of a filter - if you can't cope with it then you are probably going to struggle with the Actl courses. Lots of students get high marks, but quite a lot don't cope with the pace and crash and burn and turn into accountants.

Pretty easy.
Algebra takes a bit of getting used to.

And a bit of HSC probability.

Will you work as a civil engineer or acturary?

Still undecided on actuary, might end up doing finance.
For the question, depends which I can get a job in or actuary a civil firm or something.
