I had a linear algebra course for my 1st year civil engineering curriculum, and I passed with a 3.2 GPA but I only conceptually understood about 10% of what was taught to me.
I don't know what an eigenvalue/eigenvector is, what the hell is a subspace, nullspace, imagespace. What the hell is a linear transformation, what the hell is a determinant of an nxn matrix, what the hell is a matrix.
How the hell was I able to get a decent mark in a subject I know nothing about?
Facepalm.
I found calculus 1 (single variable) way easier to understand than this stuff.
Why is linear algebra so important?
Enlighten me.
My future math courses are
Calculus 2
Calculus 3
Differential Equations
Partial Differential Equations
Advanced Mathematics (Whatever the hell that is)
