I don't know much about chemistry, but for CS and stats people linear algebra is an applicable and important course. Some of these "introductary" courses are foundational to your degree.
- jmduke 14y agoAbsolutely! I remember the basics of linear algebra very well, and can reproduce them easily -- proofs and more arcane aspects of the curriculum, on the other hand, not so much. (Furthermore, I'd argue that the average non-Math major is not going to have to apply such aspects, and thus an introductory course should be relatively cursory regarding them.)
- infinite8s 14y agoLinear algebra is pretty important when you start doing quantum chemistry (usually an upper level undergraduate/intro level graduate class).
