Hi everyone, do you think I will do well in MATH1031?
I only did 2 U in school and got 82 in the HSC
here's the subject description 2 help u decide it
MATH1031
Mathematics for Life Sciences
Staff Contact: School Office
Session: 1 or 2
Units of Credit: 6
Hours Per Week: 6
Excluded: MATH1011, MATH1021, MATH1131, MATH1141, MATH1151, MATH1231, MATH1241, MATH1251, ECON1202, ECON2291
Description: Matrices and systems of linear equations. Functions and modelling. Differentiation. Exponentials and logarithms. Analysis of functions (limiting behaviour, maxima and minima, locating zeros). Functions of several variables. Interpolation and approximation. Discrete time dynamical systems. Complex numbers . Integration. Differential equations.
Assumed Knowledge:A level of knowledge equivalent to achieving a mark of at least 60 in HSC Mathematics. Students who have taken General Mathematics will not have achieved the level of knowledge which is assumed in this course.
Note/s: This course is intended for students who do not propose to study any Mathematics beyond first year level. Almost all later year courses in Mathematics have completion of MATH1231, MATH1241 or MATH1251 as a prerequisite.

Is MATH1031 the lowest I can do?? Because I am not very interested in Maths but in Med Sci, you have to do maths....
And when i enrol, MATH1031 is the lowest I can choose. Is there other alternative of lowering??
if it doesnt allow u to, i think its better to go to the enrolment advisory day & ask.
cos sumtimes when u pick a lower maths course (anything below MATH1131) they mite want u to do the lower math sub first, then have u do MATH1131/MATH1141 in another session.
so to be on the safe side go to ur advisory day & ask. (if its too late then go to ur faculty office).

And also, Is Math1031 the same as 1041??
i dont think MATH1031 & MATH1041 is the same. MATH1041 is a statistics subject & the topics seem to be all different.
MATH1041
Statistics for Life and Social Sciences
Staff Contact: School Office
Session: 2
Units of Credit: 6
Hours Per Week: 6
Excluded: MATH1049, MATH1059, MATH2829, MATH2839, MATH2859, MATH2899, ECON1203, ECON2292
Description: Probability, random variables, independence. Discrete distributions, Poisson and binomial distributions. Data analysis, Descriptive statistics. Sampling, Continuous distributions, the normal distribution. Estimation of mean and variance. Tests of hypotheses. Linear regression and correlation. Analysis of variance. Tests for goodness of fit. Bayesian statistics.
Assumed Knowledge: As for MATH1031
Note: This course is intended for students who do not propose to study any Mathematics beyond first year level. Almost all later year courses in Mathematics have completion of MATH1231, MATH1241 or MATH1251 as a prerequisite.

Why can't I do 1041 in session 1?
MATH1041 is not offered in session 1 (it saids in the description, session 2, whereas MATH1031 has session 1 or 2, so it's offered in both sessions)
not all uni subjects are offered in both sessions, so u need to becareful wat subjects u enrol to or it mite take u an extra session / year b4 u gradute.
dont mean 2 freak u out
& hope sumthin ive said helps
