For Pysc 1X03, all the lectures are online and you do it in your free time. Make sure you do whatever online material you have to do before you go to your tutorial though.

The vectors part of this course (a whole chapter) is a complete review from highschool I found (calculating the distance from a point to a plane, etc.). Even if you don't remember anything, he will spend a whole lecture just talking about what a vector is, how it's made up of components, how to add/multiply, dot and cross product etc. So that section of the course was pretty easy.

It builds up pretty quickly though when you start to deal with Euclidean-n space (vectors in R^n, not just R^2, R^3). Also, the abstract part of this course (vector spaces, subspaces, dimension) requires a good understanding of vectors, so don't skip those lectures!
Ah sounds interesting!
Thanks again!
oh btw, by any chance, let me know if you are willing to sell your textbooks if u have not sold it yet!
