nah you will learn it

in that case; work really hard in sem 1. I know someone who did only 2U and is in cs. He is doing quite well because he was able to keep up

not sure because I haven't done anything at UTS but I did MATH1141 and am doing MATH1241 now and most of it is 2/3/4U maths plus some extra stuff like ODE's and matrices and some other stuff

You'll have serious catching up to do. Maybe do IT instead.

If you did anything below 2u maths then you will struggle in Cs. At the very least you should have done 2u and if you did then you can easily catch up /keep up. I was a 2u student and am doing discrete maths this sem and am not finding it particularly hard apart from a section of 1 topic which would be a lot more easier if you did mx1, but you can work a little extra hard to make up for it.

Tl;dr: if you did 2u you will be fine
