    Others will be able to give you more exact details, but expect integration, differentiation and plenty of partial fractions.

    I was in a similar situation when I started, I didn't even look at a calculator for years before I started the course. But back then we had Donnacha for maths and there was nothing he wouldn't do to help you. The maths can be tough but not impossible - I never got higher than 50-odd percent, but I still came out of the honours degree course with a decent result. Like any other subject, if you make an effort and go into your lectures, it'll fall into place.

    Donnacha was a great man alright, nothing he wouldn't do for a student that show half an effort to pass Maths.

    Its the same as anything else, you work at it, you'll get rewarded. If you don't, well :(

    Maths is one of the hardest parts of the course. Its not impossible but its necessary. If you have a logical way of thinking you'll be fine with it.
