i'll start studying in october, 2 days before my first exam. hey, if it worked for my 3rd year subjects it should work for the 2nd year ones 
and yes, i know my registration last year made no sense (i haven't reg'd for 2008). doesn't seem to bother unisa so it doesn't bother me! moreover,it was handy to get the difficult courses out of the way while i was living at my mom's, this year i'm doing 9-5 work. not that it matters until october, all the assignments last year (of which i did very few after i found out i only needed to do the first) got done in a few hours

i registered on the weekend. I asked if I could do MAT103 with MAT110 but the answer was no. You have to pass the latter before you can take the former. The "system" wont allow you to register both at the same time. And I was so looking forward to linear algebra 
So I took PHY101 to make up for it.

unlikely, (A,sg) ~= (Q,hg)

Hi. Back to work today
Registered for 6 modules this year so far today: APM113U, APM114V, MAT113Q, COS112V, COS113W (duh!) and CSS101H (another duh!). I did MAT103N, MAT112P, COS101S and COS111U last year and handled that OK whilst doing a full time job and doing some contract work.
Now, I also was thinking of adding STS1055 (Basic Statistics). Is that a wise move? How tough is it?
I suppose the only tough one so far this year will be MAT113Q compared to the others, although it should be just revision of stuff I did yonks ago. I am still hoping to get a credit for MAT111 if I pass MAT113Q also with a distinction and replace that with a second year Calculus module (Diff Equations) next year.
Any comments? Oh, and welcome back to all the usual suspects. Hope you all will have a fantastic new year.

Basic stats was basic Well its not difficult in my opinion. If you do your work it should be fine. If you have previous knowledge then it should be a breeze. It covers mostly concepts dealing with surveying and the methods used to collect the data and make "stats".

i've not done mat112, in my first year (2006) i did 103 and 113. 113 kicked my ass (i was too lazy), whereas i could have gotten 100% for 103 (got 95%) if i bothered to do the last question in that blistering hot exam venue (i was sweating buckets and couldn't concentrate); i finished the whole exam in under 30 minutes, before we were allowed to leave. it really is such a piece of cake compared to 113.
partial fractions is easy, trig substitutions and identities kicked my ass because i didn't memorise the bajillion formulae and identities taylor series is just one formula to remember, which i still know off-hand:
f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)/1! + f''(a)(x-a)^2/2! + ...
i have a tut solution for 113 online btw (shows the simple partial fractions we got in tuts): http://www.fractographer.com/test3/mat113%20a3.pdf
