yeah, i agree they are so inactive, i can find like a hand full of mods. that haven't even posted for months. and hence, thats why they shuld let us "active" ppl. take some part of the mod. position.

I'll be honest. I did not see your application tooheys. That either says there was a first stage and you didn't pass, or you didn't reply officially to laz's request.

i dont think i really 'applied' for the job man
LOL all i did was pm the current mod for ipt saying 'im interested in a mod position - what should i do' or something like that

and yeah - i didnt get any reply - so i guess i was rejected LOL
hmm....

 

[BlackJack]

Make a passing comment of that around the admins. I myself am too lazy to check who is.

For both MATH1901 and MATH1902 you need to get the printed lecture notes from Kopystop which is down near broadway shopping centre. These contain the material for the courses as well as copies weekly tutorials, and are pretty cheap.

Unfortunately last year there were no seperate notes for MATH1901 students, you had to use the notes from the normal level course (MATH1001) which don't cover all of the advanced level topics. Hopefully they will have fixed that this year.

For MATH1901 theres also a recommended textbook, called Calculus, by James Stewart. Its pretty good, covers pretty much everything, but its also pretty big and expensive ($100+ new, less 2nd hand.) If you're planning to do Calculus in higher years its IMO definitely worth the investment. If you are only going to do it in first year the value for money is more questionable. The decision is up to you - the textbook is helpful but not essential, the course isnt based around it.

Theres no textbook aside from the lecture notes for MATH1902.

Good luck

yep, as mentioned in the post that i quoted, that its a reccomended textbook to get, and its especially good if ur gonna do calculus in the second year also (which most engineering students are gonna b doing!!)...so yeah, i gotta save up to buy that book.

well it really isnt needed for us yet.. because the lecturer said we're using lecture notes this semester and not using the textbook, its in the comment in the co-op site..
