Comments
An honestly more enjoyable follow up to MATH1141. While the small stats intro felt a little incomplete and rushed, and while the online stuff felt really dodgy, the course content was cool and it was taught really well. Having David for yet another subject was <3 wow absolutely amazing and Alessandro's pre-lecture playlist was absolute fire (really made online learning that bit better). The course wasn't difficult in itself - it was probably made a lot harder given motivational issues. Relatively standard course otherwise (especially being a mandatory course) - not much else to say.

Comments
Very similar to how MATH1141 is run, but some more interesting content (specifically integral and series convergence). I didn't attend lectures so I can't comment on lecturers, but the course notes covered the content to a good depth anyway, just as with the MATH1141 course notes. The number of questions in the course notes is sufficient. Most of the difficulty is from the sequence and series topic from calculus, and the algebra content is pretty easy overall. A good foundation for the second year courses, but sort of dry barring the few interesting questions in the final.
