I'd happily trade you my discrete class for your linear algebra class.
Too bad I took it some 8 years ago.

I learned more about Linear Algebra from my EE classes. I should have taken Discrete Math.

This class is not necessary for your Liberal Arts degree, why did you take it?

Discrete sucked also....
Are you serious? Calculus was fun!Originally posted by: alevasseur14
I LOVED linear algebra. It was the one math subject I actually got and enjoyed. I dove off the deep end with calculus though!
It's a course that during the first week, you'll say to yourself "this is fucking easy!! I'm going to ace this course!"
The following week, you'll be saying "eigen-what?"

It depends on what level you take it....
Undergrad: Easy. Mostly calculation and a few theorems you have to know. Very application-oriented
Graduate: Kill yourself. It starts out easy, but then you get into vector spaces, dual spaces, orthonormal matrices, linear functionals, eigenvectors/eigenvalues, decomposition methods, and all other sorts of stuff that will make you want to take a flying leap instead of proving from first principles.
