End notes
- [1] BE/BSc students must complete ENGG1000 and are exempt from SCIE1000.
- [2] Students without at least a Sound Achievement in Senior Maths C are strongly recommended to take MATH1050 as an elective before MATH1051
- [3] BE/BSc students required to complete STAT2201 and/or STAT2202 under the engineering course list must not complete STAT1201 under the Science course list. These students are exempt from STAT1201.
- [4] BE/BBusMan, BE/BCom and BE/BEcon students required to complete STAT2201 towards the engineering major must not enrol in ,and cannot gain credit for, ECON1310. A student undertaking STAT2201 is exempted from ECON1310 and must complete #2 for an ECON course approved by the BEL Executive Dean.
- [5] This course is offered over more than one semester. Enrol in the same course code in each semester.
