Monash Uni equivalent of UoM maths

Hi

I was looking at the Master of Engineering page for Melb Uni and one of the prerequisites was, "An undergraduate degree including:
the equivalent of 25 points (two subjects) of first year mathematics, specifically Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra (or equivalent)"
Page here: http://www.eng.unimelb.edu.au/study/degrees/master-engineering-biomedical/entry-requirements#entry-requirements

I'm enrolled into the BBiomedSc course at Monash hoping to get into grad med. My back-up option if that does not work would be to get into engineering. So I was just wondering what the equivalent of Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra at UoM was at Monash Uni. Would it be MTH2010(Multivariable Calculus) and MTH2021(Linear Algebra) respectively?

Thank you :D

EDIT: Fixed subject code for MTH2010

Even though the content in MTH1030 and Calculus 2 are a bit (quite) different, they should be equivalent to each other. Reading the handbook entry for calculus 2, it does look like it incorporates a little bit of content covered in MTH2010 at Monash. I would guess that MTH2021 would be needed though. The linear algebra portion of MTH1030 isn't comparable to Linear Algebra at UoM. I think only MTH1030 and MTH2021 should be needed because the entry requirements only state 2 units of math prereq are needed.

Easiest way to confirm this though would be to ask UoM (or maybe Monash I guess) themselves.

Okay then. I've emailed Melb Uni to ask. Thank you   ;D
