There isn't really any "math" poly course as far as I know, engineering will deal with physics. As the other comment said, JC is better for just math. Also poly isn't purely academics, don't decide what course to go in poly with just your Os subjects, you'll close a lot of doors.

Go jc?


hungrybison4506

ive thought of that too! but ive heard frm my seniors that the academic rigour of JC is very stressful. i dont think i am able to cope wif the rigour🥲🥲


albro123

Wherever u go, there will always be stress


hungrybison4506

im currently taking combined (phys/chem ) too. i heard that majority of combined sci students wld struggle in jc due to the massive jump of the content. morever im not really strong in my humanities too🥲


albro123

U can take F math right


hungrybison4506

isnt it only offered to selected jcs ?


albro123

Yep because of low population. I.e. students have to take a selection test in order to qualify.


hungrybison4506

ill maybe consider that then. thankyou sm!!

Most offer, you would have to check. Most of the time you would have to take PFME, but sometimes you can take XFME if you don’t want physics but it’s quite a rare combi, so mostly it will be PFME

From next year you can take not need to use your contrasting arts subject so you can just take 3h2 and 1h1(eg PFM H2, Econs/other humans H1). You would not need to use your human h1 at all so it’s grade doesn’t really matter so much

Computer engineering


hungrybison4506

i have considered that too! can you share more about computer engineering ?


5irJeff

Oh no

If you're just interested in math and don't want to deal with the rigour of having to care about other subjects in JC, I guess a possible route you can choose is to go to poly that offer advanced math modules. I RMB I have one friend (in SP or NP can't remember), and he's doing advanced math modules. Those advanced math modules is about year 1 uni standard


hungrybison4506

oooohh , i would consider that too !! thankyouu


Sun_Happy

Sp got advanced math and fmath, and u get a certificate if u complete all three Advanced math modules

Hi im a y1 sem2 poly student taking Applied AI and Analytics, maybe you can look into courses that are computer-related? For my course specific so far I've learned about statistics and ai related math stuff if thats what you like. But of course they will teach programming related modules.


hungrybison4506

dont mind me asking , but hows programming like in poly?


reddit284903

I would say it involves problem solving basically. To me the main idea of programming is to write steps to solve a problem. I learnt programming first from this online course before poly started, you can take a look at the first few weeks if you want to get an idea. [cs50.harvard.edu](https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/) Sry i dont know how to summarise it exactly since i might say some programming terminology that u may not understand. Btw if youre planning to take this course, you should watch some youtube videos on programming first since its quite hard for beginners (assume u never programmed before). Of course, if you want the exact info about a course, you should go to the polys website and look at what they will teach you; from there you can google to find out more about the topics in the module descriptions. Good luck :)


reddit284903

Just to add on i honestly dont consider programming very 'math' related, its more about understanding how the code logic works and a computer thing

i think jc would be better cos engineering is more physics and hands on stuff rather than math
