actl is more abt analysis, so i doubt we'll be having essay type questions ...

 

[kaseita]

we got told that we won't escape uni without writing at least one essay

so I figure we'll end up with one essay the whole period

If you're coming to MQ, don't bother with HSC textbook, just buy or borrow the Prescribed Textbook. No point reading something which won't help much in comparison to something else.

william: I'll sell you STAT171 (first semester course) and I can sell you the Accounting 1A and 1B book in about 5 weeks. Oh, then there is COMP 115.

I might sell the whole lot of first semester texts (including ACST 151 book) for $150....

I reckon the Accounting 1A and 1B textbook is good value for money.

Well, don't even bother with our ACST211 Lectures, now. It's relatively difficult...

nah come, it'll be interesting
we juz did nested integrals which basically finds the volume under a surface (could b rough surface). And the volume underneath is the prob of sumfin occuring etc.
