I always found linear algebra much easier than calculus. Odd to hear it talked about as something more advanced.

- mark_l_watson 7y agoJack Hidary, author of the fantastic new book “Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach”, makes the excellent point that linear algebra should be taught before calculus.
- killjoywashere 7y agoThe particular version of linear algebra I took was taken after differential equations, and generally considered the hardest course in the undergraduate curriculum, reserved for EE and physics majors only. In the case of us physics majors, it was a pre-req for thermal physics (statistical mechanics), and due to timing, there was only one semester you could take it.
