MATH1081 is compulsory for students in Computer Science and Software Engineering and is optional for all other Engineering students. It is recommended for students in Electrical, Telecom, Photovoltaic & Solar and Computer Engineering as it will help them with their Computing courses. It is also compulsory for students enrolled in a Mathematics major or study plan (except Maths and Finance). In an Advanced Science program, MATH1081 should be included in the first year of study, but students in the basic Science program 3970 are advised to consider postponing MATH1081 until their second year, or to at least Term 2 or 3 of their first year.

If you are currently enrolled in MATH1081, you can log into  for this course.
