Math1141/math1151 (1 Viewer)

I'm enrolled in 1151 obviously due to my chosen degree. But I have two questions;

Apart from the change in topic order between 1141/1241/1151/1251, is there any significant difference between the actual content learnt?

That and does one course have a difficulty jump/increase?

Thanks

Some of the content in MATH1141 that is covered in Maths Ext 1 is not explicitly taught in MATH1151 and just regarded as assumed background knowledge. Also, even though MATH1141/1241/1151/1251 seem to end up covering the same topics, in each topic, further applications and extended knowledge is taught in MATH1151/1251 (for example, for the topic of differential equations, a type of differential equation will be taught in MATH1251 but not 1241, and similarly harder types of applications of differential equations will only be taught in 1251). For these reasons, MATH1151/1251 are definitely harder than MATH1141/1241.

Thanks, exactly what I needed.

Should point out that the reason why MATH1151 may appear to be harder than MATH1141 is because since MATH1141 is a core for Maths/Stats majors, harder and higher applications will be covered in their respective courses, such as MATH2120 (Mathematical Methods for Differential Equations). There's no need for MATH1141 to cover more content in less detail because students will eventually cover those in much greater detail in future courses.

Also, MATH1141 isn't 'easy' by virtue of MATH1151 being considered harder than MATH1141. It's still a very challenging course. I doubt there is a significant difference.
