I think taking less calculus and more linear algebra is a mistake. There is a really good book in two volumes that I feel shows how methods of linear algebra can be extended using calculus to solve a wide range of problems: A Course in Mathematics for Students of Physics: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2685577-a-course-in-mathematics-for-students-of-physics http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2685577-a-course-in-mathe... Volume 2 is more important. It starts demonstrating how methods of Linear Algebra can be used to solve circuit problem, then generalizes this to higher dimensions and from discrete to continuous spaces using the exterior derivative. Seeing this demonstrated gave me a much clearer, more intuitive understanding for both calculus and linear algebra.
