Quite a useful course for a variety of degrees!

Very interesting course with interesting concepts, however, it was taught poorly with zero intuition. Eigenvectors and eigenvalues were shoved down our throats with no understanding of what they actually represented, so it felt like I was just a machine doing calculations rather than learning mathematics. It was only until I watched 3blue1brown's videos on linear algebra that it started to make sense. The teaching was poor, the content was interesting and very useful.

Fun course and really cool new concepts

Some content was pretty interesting, and lecturers were very helpful. However, this subject's downfall was it was WAY too much work for a 3cp subject. Proceed with caution!

Some of the lecture notes were messy, and it was hard to understand the lecturers in some cases. I would recommend Nathan Brownlowe, who was great and explained concepts in an easy to explain way. The content of the subject was completely different from high school, making it a lot more effort than the other first semester maths subject (MATH1021). Fairly interesting; at first it seemed like the structure was a bit messy, but all the topics do end up linking together.

easier than math1001, its all good until week 10 lol

Exam was pretty hard compared to 1001. It's quite different to the type of maths you learn in the HSC

The subject was quite simple in its content, a great alternate math subject for someone who wants to stay away from the calculus subjects.

Pretty interesting and fun course, different to MATH1001/MATH1003 in the sense that Differential/Integral Calculus sort of carry on from high school maths, but MATH1002 is new and different to what the majority of students have done before. Most of your learning will happen in tutorials; lectures just go over the bare basics usually with quite straight forward proofs/examples, but the tutorial sheets contain quite a lot of questions to practice (which you may never finish in a short one hour tutorial). Everything builds up, so make sure you've got the basics down and are up to date with the content.

Really great course! A very new approach to maths compared to high school maths (which revolves more around calculus). The tutorial sheets are interesting and the teaching (I had David Easdown) generally great.
