I didn't buy or use any of the books in the "recommended texts" list, if that's what you mean. I did make good use of the printed lecture notes from Kopystop though - I read everything, made my own notes based on the printed notes as well as the lectures, and I did all the tutorial exercise questions.ssglain, did you use any textbooks for advanced mathematics ?
I managed straight HDs for all my maths units in first year (I did advanced/special studies program) with Differential Calculus being my best subject at 97 - I won't say that I did it "effortlessly" because I did put in the appropriate amount of effort. If you are genuinely interested in maths and aim to apply yourself in the subject, then you should easily achieve more than just a pass in it.Also, do you think a pass in Advanced Mathematics is easy to achieve ?
Notes aren't available before lecture starts.Also, should I wait for the first lecture to get the course notes from kopystop or should I get it before the first lecture starts ? Would the lecturer recommend these notes ?
I think the consensus date for addition of a unit has passed, but not yet for removal of units. You cannot drop down to normal level this semester unless you want to incur a huge financial penalty.okay, MATH1901 and MATH1902 are getting harder and I'm getting more confused as each lesson goes by. Since I'm not planning to do these units next semester, should i continue with them ?
Also, would the level of difficulty be far less if i dropped to MATH1001 and MATH1002?
And, since I'm a BE/BCom student, I shouldn't have to give more work to myself right ? Opinions please.
Not exactly. The Science office let me switch from a normal to advanced unit a few days ago, though the person in question is in another faculty so they'll have to ask about their procedures.I think the consensus date for addition of a unit has passed, but not yet for removal of units.

Did they say that it will incur a financial penalty since you enrolled into the advanced units after the concensus date ?Not exactly.

+1what 1st year textbooks are recommeneded for math1901 and math1902 and can they be downloaded ?
can anyone else answer all of my questions from above ?
Thank you.
