Prerequisites in 2024
The handbook's wording is ambiguous; this is a person's reading of it
One of
- enrolment in the Master of Computing (Advanced)
Why it's read this way: "Either:" sets up two pathways: the "; AND" binds the maths course to the programming course, and the "; OR" opens the VCOMP pathway.
Incompatible with COMP2100: you can't count both.
