My High School teaches it as the introductory Linear Algebra course and - while it is a bit difficult - it does an excellent job priming students to think about Lin Alg as a higher order discipline.
After doing it both ways, I really appreciate introducing vector spaces and linear transformations before even touching matrices.
- ruggeri 2y agoMay I ask what high school? We did not have a linear algebra course in my New York high school. I would have liked to have been able to take linear algebra then.
- lanternfish 2y agoPretty exclusive private bay area school - not the norm by any means. It's offered as one of the electives after calculus - multivariable, linear algebra, and a rotating set of others.
