Hello..

I am still deciding if I should waive off my MA1301 exemption and go straight to MA1312. Poly grad here btw with no a math background but with cacm dip plus..anyone has MA1312 materials or notes to share so I can gauge if I should or should not give up on it. Thanks in advance!

Unless you are very confident with your math, u may wanna consider taking MA1301 for a free A.
If not, I advice you to get it exempted. so that u only get a lousy grade for 1 module instead of 2.

Lastly, this coming sem MA1301 is taught by Dr Wang Fei.(avoid his module if you can. His teaching is ok, but his exam papers are probably worse(harder) than prof Victor)

I didnt say victor taught 1301. just using him as a comparison. :)

This coming sem is wang fei and its confirmed on ivle.

tan ban pin is pretty crap. take under him will die too.. as he doesnt teach at all ..

I had math background and i'm still gonna tell you that the MATH in UNI is nothing like you've ever imagined it to be.

My advice, go for the math bridger.

omg im taking ma1301 leh!!!

this coming sem? gd luck loh dr wang fei likes to set proving questions that probably require u to use some fundamental knowledge that you have learned in secondary school but not revised/taught in MA1301. (at least thats what happened in MA1521 last sem)

P.S: heard that he is SMO problem setter?

taking advance math in poly is a different matter from doing math in NUS.

the level of difficulty is probably beyond imaginable. unlike poly, u have a few sem to clear a few math modules, MA1301 is like all those modules add together and clear in 1 semester. =x

Don't skip it. MA at uni is not about memorizing formulas and algorithms. Any sec sch kid can do that given enough practice.
