[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone’s school max out at AB or BC and take multivariable elsewhere, maybe during the Summer? DC’s school is smaller, and I think they just don’t have enough students to support a course. Thank you for any information.[/quote]

It doesn’t directly answer your question, but even if your school’s last calculus class is BC, they might offer additional math courses of value.  AP Stats is a good example.  Or maybe a course on mathematical reasoning that focuses on proofs.  More calculus beyond BC isn’t the only attractive strategy, in other words.  [/quote]

DP with a similar question. DC is taking BC in 11th grade at a private school next year.  DC has a nearly perfect grade in advanced precalculus, so I'm hoping that BC will be a healthy/successful challenge.

The school offers linear algebra as the only post-calculus "track" class. Also AP Stats is an option.  While linear would probably be considered the highest available math for AO box checking, I suspect that AP Stats would be more practical.

I don't think there would be room for both classes in DC's schedule and summer isn't an available option.  DC really likes math and has intermediate python skills.

What am I missing? What are the practical applications of linear algebra? Thanks.
