I didn't say that Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory were separated. I said that Matrix theory hit me like a ton of bricks. I took Linear Algebra in college prior to that, obviously.
I further stated that I think Linear algebra might benefit students if taught earlier, in high school.
- Gibbon1 7y agoWe were taught a little linear algebra in high school. And more in college. My impression of three semesters of calculus in college was that much was a waste of time. It was probably useful for a mechanical/electrical engineer circa 1950. But today no one solves problems that way. I think more linear algebra and matrix theory would have been better.
