Reviews

This subject is a breeze, I did minimal study for this subject, barely did any of the exercise questions and watched every lecture at 2x speed, still ended up with a H1.

I can't believe I am saying this but I enjoyed Calculus 2 and even way more than linear. I failed initially because I did not put in the time and effort. I did it for the second time and just practiced more and just kept up. Truly found it interesting and just makes me feel challenged. It is not too hard to understand and the ed discussion board was helpful when I got stuck with questions. The subject is just overall well organized and the tutors were great. I went from a 20+ grade fail to a H1 I recommend this! Also, I did this over the summer with another class.

Imperfect, but probably the subject I enjoyed most this semester. The content builds closely on material taught in VCE, and if there's anything you didn't nail down during spesh (or Calc 1) you'll have a chance to refine it when applied again here. My main grievance was that it felt like a very rote subject, which came down to the fact the subject is pretty much purely computational. Some of the assignment questions required some creativity, but on the whole I felt as though questions were quite repetitive. Derivations were discussed where convenient, but typically in brief. Of course, this was the scope of the subject and if you're ultimately interested in the subject for application's sake, they execute it well and you are well supported. I was lucky to have a knowledgeable tutor, and the rest of the teaching staff are happy to provide support. The subject is well organised, and communication between staff and students is active. One aspect I enjoyed was that at the end of the tutorial handouts each week, there would often be attached a sort of 'extension' question which introduced you to further concepts. These questions invited you to develop ideas about the methods you were practising and the objects you were manipulating. If you're keen to learn about the mathematics itself, however, I would urge you toward the advanced version of the subject, which apparently emphasises the aspects I found most wanting.

A good subject! The professor who runs the subject is great and explains things really well. I found that the lectures were a perfect length and went through a digestible amount of content. That being said, as there are three lectures per week, I would advise you to keep on top of them and don't let them pile. The pracs were pretty chill -- you just do questions in groups on interactive whiteboards. The exam was quite long and difficult but fair. If you come from a spesh background then a lot builds on that knowledge.

tl;dr - good subject, challenging but rewarding, do the work and try to enjoy learning the new concepts (+ why they are useful) and it will most likely pay off. This is a really good subject. Do not be afraid of it or dissuaded by past student's comments as to its difficulty. If you work hard by doing all the tutorial sheets and problem booklet (imo most useful tool) a H1 is achievable. I didn't do specialist or higher level maths in high school but was able to achieve a H1 (82) with some consistent work and by showing interest (doing MAST10005 definitely gives an idea to the pace of learning - but MAST10006 is notably more difficult obviously). Get help when you need it in consults as the tutors are often sitting in zoom rooms alone and very helpful. Past exams are good to do but I would not recommend focusing too much on the hard questions - learn how the questions are written and how you can extend/apply your understanding to more difficult questions. All of the exams have some really tough questions on them. The exam is never going to be easy - it is going to have some very difficult questions on it to separate 90s from 80s from 70s, etc,... One thing I would recommend is get good at algebraic manipulations and calculations with annoying numbers. The exam questions will never have nice numbers to work with and it is important that stupid mistakes are not coming from getting addition/subtraction incorrect. Assignments are weekly but I think they are relatively straightforwards and you should be able to get full marks if you review tutorial questions carefully and are rigorous in your solutions. I personally think that the problem booklet is the most useful tool at your disposal - it exposes you to a wide range of question types and also gives you repetition. Topics such as trig/hyperbolic substitutions are invariable on exams but require particular methods/workings. Use of the discussion boards will help to get an understanding of what some full solutions may look like (only answers are provided with many questions stating "explanation required, etc..").

This subject was difficult but also great fun! I would strongly recommend anyone interested in maths to do it.

Can be very hard if you don't adjust to university level maths quickly, but overall it is a very interesting and rewarding subject. Trithang is an excellent lecturer and there are a ton of resources given to students to excel. Standard subject where you are given partially filled lecture notes to fill in as you watch the lectures, and you are given a problem booklet to do problems after watching lectures.

Fundamental subject for mathematics and engineering disciplines. Well taught, lots of resources available.

This is a hard subject but if you put in the effort, it really does pay off. Get on top of assignments and look at feedback so you know exactly what your tutors are looking for. Work with others and do lots of practice. As this was my first maths subject out of high school, it was a little bit of a shock but it quickly highlights the pace of university maths and helps you develop skills to tackle the topics. Some of it will be revision if you did VCE Specialist Maths but most of it is new. If you end up doing Civil/Mechanical/Mechatronics or something along those lines, the spring stuff will definitely come up again. I've referred to my notes from Calc 2 at least once per semester after finishing this subject.

Pretty easy H1, keep up with the work, get help when you need it, that's honestly all you need to do to get a high mark in Calculus. I skipped calc 1, went straight from specialist, some bits are pretty similar, in general pretty easy. The part I struggled with the most was limits, as long as u follow the steps they give you, you will be fine. I didn't attend any of the tutorials, I did the worksheets myself, which was honestly good enough.
