The content of the course will not be too different from previous year, but the order of topics will be switched around a bit.
This course is math heavy (as the name should suggest), so I strongly recommend reading the first few pages of How to Solve It by Polya. The book is a classic and often when you are stuck with seemingly no clue about how to solve a homework/exam question, going back to the basics of problem solving can prove to be very helpful.
In terms of how deep we go into topics in this course here are last year's exams. If you are wondering whether you know the material or not, these should help.
