Nothing.

Most courses can give you a bridging course to cover what you missed.

Also, they say "assumed" not "required".

Don't stress.

i wouldn't recommend you do maths/physics/engineering degrees.

other than that, you're pretty much sweet

Pretty much any science degree, especially at usyd, because it is compulsory to do first year maths at usyd.

What he said.

A lot of subjects will say 2 unit maths is assumed knowledge. But really it isn't. Don't believe the bullshit uni's tell you.

Bridging courses rock.

I did General, and I'm did Marketing at Mac.

One perfect example is B Computer Science at Wollongong. It said 2U maths is assumed knowledge, but I did general maths last year, and passed the first year maths subject (got 68 - credit for that).

With general maths, you pretty much can do everything, as long as you are willing to try hard in the maths subjects. Although Engineering would require at least 2U maths knowledge. As long as you are not aiming to get into engineering, general maths is not a problem.

well
you might need to put in the extra yard when it comes to stuff like econ where they expect you to understand the basic concept of calculus (that is, knowing the basic properties of a curve blah blah blah)

but its no biggie, you will manage
