While "giving it a go" is worth some praise, you need to balance that against the real life consequences of being saddled with potentially tens of thousands of dollars of extra debt because you failed the courses.

Also if you are just grasping the fundamental prerequisites, that will detract from you absorbing the new engineering material that you are paying the big bucks to study. It doesn't seem like a good use of the amount of money it will cost. You can learn all the math for free in your own time.

I am thinking about a gap year. I need to make a decision before 30 December 2019, to either accept/defer/decline the offer from the university. I'm just frozen what to do atm. I'm really scared if I do accept the offer, I will fail all maths that is shown to me and I will become a dropout statistic.

Does deferring essentially give you another year to make up your mind? If so, that seems like your best choice. If you're really not confident, it means you personally don't know where you stand in terms of knowledge, and university is not that forgiving.

Yea, deferring is a gap year. That means I would still have my place in the coarse, but it would commence in feb 2021, other then feb 2020

In the General mathematics 2 course I found the hardest is: probably,simplifying algebraic expressions, financial maths,geometry and statistics

I found easy is: rearranging equations

Think about an apprenticeship in high tech game.

In fact try out for an apprenticeship with one of military services... Say navy.

Air force may be too uptight. Foot soldiering may be too close to dirt.

At the end of Your tour You end up with a qualification in technology and possibly man management. Sought after skills in civilian life.
