Is there any 4unit in this subject? I'm bored, and I can revise/learn the shit if there is.

Learn integration by parts, recursive integration techniques, vector arithmetic, implicit differentiation. Thats about it. Oh there is complex numbers in MATH1251.

hey guys im currently enrolled in math1151
just wanted to ask
how hard is it in terms of getting pass/credit/d/hd ?
and umm i herd it is possible to do math1131/1141 as an alternative to math1151 for actuarial students
is this true? and also is it recommended (like in terms of getting a better wam) ?

I am thinking of doing engineering/ actuary and I did math1131 and actuary sent me an email saying it is allowed. Math1131 is pretty easy.

Actuarial would prefer that you do 1151/1251 as it does things that you'll probably need for ACTL1001 earlier than if you were doing 1131/1231 (or the higher versions). By the end of the year 1151/1251 has covered a bit more stuff than 1131/1231 (especially in multivariable calculus) but if someone has done 1131/1231 and then transfers, they don't make them cover it all again. If someone fails 1151, they usually get them to do 1131 in Session 2 and then 1231 over the summer to catch up.

1131/1231 probably has more engineering type examples, so for Eng/Act students it is probably a bit of a toss-up - you should check with maths as to what they advise.

Actuarial seem to use 1151 as a bit of a filter - if you can't cope with it then you are probably going to struggle with the Actl courses. Lots of students get high marks, but quite a lot don't cope with the pace and crash and burn and turn into accountants.

Still undecided on actuary, might end up doing finance.

For the question, depends which I can get a job in or actuary a civil firm or something.
soo, which side r u leanin more to; which one do you wana work in.. i think act has higher pay in general.. but i mean, i gues the problem with double degree is tht once u get a job say eng and u become a senior earning 100k.. u wouldnt wana change to act and start back down at 60k ..
