[quote=Anonymous]They're correct he could have taken linear with no calc at all. The material is distinct, and useful in many contexts. Do you remember solving a system of two linear equations in algebra 1? Finding the point where two lines intersect (or knowing when that's not the case). Linear Algebra is the generalization. These are the *easy* problems in math, but more than two constraints requires abstraction and bookkeeping. The approach to hard problems is often figuring out how to apply linear methods. That's a reason why it comes up later, but this class is just learning those methods. It's largely a return to arithmetic, for better or worse. Anyway, I've been in many settings that started with a crash course in linear algebra for people who don't know it, and having it in the back pocket is nice.[/quote]
