Would be a great idea to have it.

Depends what you want. If you want an IT, computer science, engineering, physics or maths degree, you'd want to be doing well in 2u maths.

There's no pre-requisites, though, so if you think you'll be able to cope with the levels of maths in your degree, then that's all you need.

You can always take a maths bridging course if you want, too.

i think the basic requirement for any major in a science degree at uni is 2u maths? i'd encourage you to try a little harder and hopefully get at least 2 units of maths to count toward your UAI... it won't look good for you if you have 0 maths units in your UAI score when you apply for a B.Sc. because all majors in a tertiary science degree at uni will require you to undertake at least some very basic maths courses in the first year/semester.
