>taking linear algebra BEFORE calculus
How fucked am I?
I was planning to take 18.06.Can i succeed withou calculus?
>>
linear algebra and calculus are independent

you don't need to know linear algebra for calculus (until multivariable calculus), and you don't need to know calculus for linear algebra (aside from basic examples of linear transformations like derivation and integration)
>>

What about 18.06?
>>
>>8805746
what about it/what is that?
>>
uh
yeah?
That's normal, linear algebra is like 14 year old stuff

In fact, you'd better download some books and master that so you can get it out of the way in your HEAD and pads the class as a consequence and get to mastering calculus as soon as possible

Calculus is literally the foundation where you apply everything else and start learning real math

yeah that's how it works everywhere faggot. What are you expecting. The same happened to me in biotech
>>
Calculus is easy idiot
>>
>>8805761
Yes
Yes I did
Maybe we're having some different ideas on what those two topics cover, but you can knock out linear algebra in months, calculus will take a bit longer, less than a year if you actually practice and continuously test yourself, better if you can bribe a teacher to push you
>>
>>8805772
any linear algebra course worth its name should at least cover:

basics: vector spaces, linear transformations, bases, determinants, eigenvalues/eigenvectors, inner products, dual spaces, double dual, adjoints

key theorems: spectral theorem, cayley-hamilton, jordan form, singular value decomposition

going over all that as a first-timer would take more than few months in my opinion
>>
>>8805782
>never did dual spaces, double dual, adjoints
>never did any of those key theorems (if we did we never named them)

i mean my lin alg course WAS super shitty. Like it was a first year (first semester, even) science/engineering course that was taught as if it was a pure math-lite course. No body knew what was going on for the entire course. I only kind of intuitively understand some things now because i've gone back and looked over the textbook/notes recently.

How are you NOT taking both?

Btw Linear algebra and analysis are nearly completely unrelated and are only joined if you take something like higher analysis and functional analysis.
