You are unsure: Is my knowledge of mathematics sufficient? Or should I take the math pre-course?
The following can help you decide:

Decision aid 1: School years and final grade
We always recommend the math pre-course,

• if your math lessons at school were more than a year ago
• or you had a 3 ("satisfactory") or 4 ("sufficient") as your final grade in math.

Do you already know today what will soon be educated in your math pre-course?
No problem: Take your time to click through the excerpt from the lectures script and a few selected exercise sheets.
Ask yourself: Would you have known? If not: We recommend that you take part in the math pre-course.
