I’m not really sure where you got the idea that it’s largely a tool for solving differential equations. Certainly that is an application, but that isn’t the only use case.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoThat's how it was introduced to me. Which is probably part of the discussion about what should be taught first.
- wbsss4412 5y agoI was introduced to the topic on its own, so that colors my perspective as well I suppose. If I were to think about what a high school student would get the most value out of, it would realistically involve a combination of linear algebra and statistics (getting into basic linear modeling/ols). You’d have to hand wave away some of the proofs which require knowledge of calculus, but high school classes aren’t very rigorous anyways.
