MATH1901:

Complex numbers, limits, taylor polys, partial derivs

MATH1902:

Vectors, dot/cross products, matricies, fundy thm of algebra, eigen values/vectors
I'll just leave MATH1902 for later, so for MATH1901, what do you think I should practice? (I've become REALLY rusty and I'll probably re-learn concepts in depth/develop some conceptual understanding and etc).

However you are probably more suited to something like Calculus 9th edition by Rn Lrsons

Colorful and the questions have a designated problem solving section so it's not repetitive

Got them both ;)

Though do I have to worry about Maxima and minima? I'll probs just do exercises from both of those books.

So that's it?

Don't bother with exercises unless you have time...just read and absorb.

No no you have to attempt exercises just reading the theory is useless you need to learn develop skills to apply it.

That's like having an orange without making juice, yuck

There is a website where you can buy second hand textbooks it's called textbook exchange

Some people I know value their textbooks as in they protect it like if it were their babies and don't like them to be damaged. There is one person who is a mod that I think is protective of his maths texts

How many hours a day are you guys studying?
16 hours per day - I know, its pretty weak, I probably will only manage a 99.90 ATAR :(

sleep is optional

band 6 is compulsory

100 ATAR is necessary

starting to get my results back and this is what ive got so far
Standard English: 60/100 (KILL ME) ~20/49
Geography 20/20 - 1/8
Business Studies 47/60 - 6/30
Modern History ??/?? - 6/10(Most likely 6th out of 10, however its a very smart class)
General Mathematics 80/100 - =1/28
IPT 86/100 - =2/4

I hope this is enough for an ATAR of 80+
