Im a CS or Math Major (most likely) in the BSc. Lawrence Reeves is the best lecturer I've come across so far. Subject organisation is impeccable, as well as the notes which can be found at https://lawrencereeves.github.io/. It is more proofs focused, with most proofs demonstrated on the board, with ample opportunity to ask questions given the smaller class size as compared to the regular version of the subject. The tutors Thomas and Bailey were engaging and helpful, and the overall environment of being in tutorials with smart individuals helps in building your maths skills and seeing different ways of approaching ideas. To do well in this subject, do all the questions in the notes, and make sure you know how to do each one. Then revising these, as well as the tutorial questions regularly will help to solidify the various techniques used. It will be your first encounter with more rigorous mathematics (spesh math is nothing compared to this), but is highly enjoyable, and after spending some time alone thinking about why something makes sense, the lightbulb moments are irreplaceable. You don't really need to use the textbook much, with the notes being ample. However, the recommended resources in the notes are all top-class and highly rated books world-wide, making them a worthwhile read / source of questions for those wanting exceptional results (but even then, its not necessary for very high scores). Its a good class for making like-minded friends, which can last throughout your university years and beyond. Never fall behind in lectures, NOT EVEN ONE, and you will be doing yourself a massive favour. It is a highly sequential subject, with new content building heavily on the previous. The MST is fairly chill. The thing with this subject is that if you do the work and get everything, there won't really be much of a surprise, not even on the final exam, except for perhaps a couple marks here and there. Assignments are well spaced out, and are helpful in getting you to really understand the course material. If you approach this subject with a growth mindset, you will start to appreciate the beauty of mathematics. And did I mention the lecturer, he's absolutely fantastic, just don't zone out in lectures, which would be quite rare given his engaging exposition. Not sure why one of the reviews expresses resentment against the lecturer, the vast majority agree and have given end-of-semester subject reviews with this being the first thing they praise. I didn't make use of many consultations, but if you ever don't understand something, save yourself some time and ask your tutors and/or lecturer during consultations. I guess these days you can also ask chat gpt for a top-notch explanation too, but again, making connections and getting to know people personally is always a big plus, for future direction as well. Also, really try to plan out your course early, looking at what subjects will interest you, and whether you want to do a con-current diploma or not. This way you can optimise for them (doing them earlier if you get the prerequisites sorted out, e.g. calc 2, lin alg, computing subjects etc.). If you want to / need to do real analysis, and you have more than a 38 raw in spesh, consider doing AM1 and AM2, which can help save a subject slot later on for something else you like. But bear in mind, the workload is very intense for AM2 as I've heard, much more than linear algebra: advanced. The content of AM2 is the regular lin alg, calc 2 and real analysis. They don't go too much further in depth then the regular counterparts (see studocu notes and stuff to compare them, the lin alg bit of am1 definitely has proofs just like regular regular lin alg, but i'm not sure how much and how much deeper they go as compared to the regular), but definitely go at a much faster rate. Lin alg Advanced is more in-depth, going through all theorems and using them to prove other propositions through some creativity and smart use of the proofs given in the notes. Hopefully this was a helpful review for in-coming first years.

Do Not Take this subject. TRUST The lecturer is the worst lecturer in the whole math dept. If you want to learn more in-depth just watch Gilbert Strang's YT videos from MIT. You will thank me later

Great subject if you're interested in maths

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