What do other students think about Essential Mathematics?
When I first enrolled in Essential Mathematics I was not confident at all. My previous experience with maths had been negative and I found maths very hard. This semester I have really enjoyed Essential Mathematics and have achieved very pleasing results. I have decided to continue on with Essential Mathematics next semester and also into Stage 2.
