The Prereading covers a fair part of the maths requirement, it's not that hard. Just a matter of dealing with large numbers. I'm as rusty as blazes (about 50 years rusty !!
) and just got out the calculator, read and reread then played with the existing examples to get the idea. More around getting your mind to adjust to the scale of numbers involved.
Anyway looks like we've got an 'off-campus' study support group going here so there should be plenty of assistance available. I suggest when the time comes we set up a 'Help' thread on here so we can learn and discuss as we go. Should be quite entertaining.
