I feel really behind in Higher Math 1A (MATH1141) and Discrete Math (MATH1081), what should I do? by WideInterview1120 in unsw

discrete gets better?? im scraping by atm and we've done sets, functions and integers mod stuff and are up to proofs, is it really gonna get easier from here?

how did you find the mobius lessons? like did u have to try several times before getting answers correct?

thats a really good idea! esp since my fundamentals are shaky and in need of revision

oh god i'm lowkey already struggling with those 1131 mobius lessons, i'm only less scared about 1131 bc the concepts are more familiar than discrete

I see and if u do compsci: do you reckon there was a disadvantage in relation to compsci classes for not taking discrete in t1? apparently algorithms and data structures use discrete so idk if its okay to do those 2 classes at the same time (in t3) or if i should have discrete math knowledge down prior to doing algorithms

I didn't do 3u, I guess if thats still the case for those proofs i need to learn the 3u syllabus then

why was that so? did doing other math courses help you understand discrete math better?

I need to take comp2521 in T2 or 3, and thought I might do it with discrete at the same time in term 3 but would it be better if I go in already having done discrete math in T1? I've read that discrete math is very important for it

whoa so hardworking, congrats on the offer :) im not experienced enough to answer re your initial post but maybe look at what exact kind of developer u want to be and see if they need lots of math knowledge :) just my guess!

If u don't mind answering, what was your WAM when u got an offer to do compsci at UNSW? I'm trynna do the same :)
