There are no prerequisites for this course... it is recommended that participants of the engineering strand have a firm grasp of 2nd year university level mathematics. In prior similar courses over 30% of those without this mathematical bases failed to complete the course. Those interested in participating in the course without this mathematics background should seek advice by email apvsc@unsw.edu.au. The minimal-mathematics strand requires periodic essays rather than solved equations. Both strands use the same course materials.
