★★★★☆

Just lots of math. If you love calculus already you'll enjoy this unit. If you don't, just try to attend lectures/workshops to best understand the content. My UC/Lecturer explained topics quite well.

★★★★☆

A difficult unit but as someone who kind of enjoys math I got into it a bit (Not to say I did fantastically). SPAM the practice questions. That's the best way I find to do well in any math heavy unit.
