For us, the physics people took straight lin. alg. (eigenvalues and crap, but more problem-based)

The math&physics people had the choice of taking that or of taking the real algebra 2 class.

~3.5

I am sure that that didn't matter at all (B+ is 3.33, physics was a bit higher than that)

in physics I got a B+ in almost every class, no matter now easy or how hard

I paid 5K in loans plua 1k real

Frogger:

quote: I don't think you're taking the same sort of lin alg course that algebra 2 was. Is your class composed of systems of linear equations, multiplying matrices, and geometric problems? Those are applications.

so we do have applications... we didn't solve geometric problems though.
We learned about matrices, the solving of linear equations through the Gauss process, Vectorial spaces, and sub-spaces,Spans, bases of vectorial sub-spaces,dimensions,Linear dipendency, determinants, linear "copying" (I don't know the correct name for this ) and of course reveresed matrices, Adjoint matrices, self values ( english? ).

here, Linear Algebra is a substitute course for Algebra 1, more material, and 4 credits, instead of the 3.5 for Algebra 1.

What is Algebra 2?

I was completely opposite. Got As in a whole bunch of classes (2/3 of classes I got either As or A-s)

And there were about 3 or 4 Cs in there.

I had a B- in calc 2

I had a class where my first two tests (out of 3 plus afinal) I averaged a D

but I really brought it up on the last one and final (both As, I still only got a B in the class though)

I took that linear algebra class in CEGEP (sort of like pre-uni place that stupid quebec government created)

Algebra I is completely different. Introduces groups, rings and fields. Algebra II is about eigenvectors, diagonalization, Jordan Canonical Form, etc. and matrices with entries under other fields than the reals.

Oh, that's what the Physics, comp. sci., machine eng. Material Eng., Electric Eng.and the rest of them learn. . "Algebra 1 M".

We lowlifes don't need that.

And I don't take Algebra 2. I was just curious.

I don't really know... I can't say that I know Kassi's personal life that well, and I don't intend to find out....

It's a neat class so far.

I thought it was a problem only in my uni.

say... what kind of questions do they give around your place?


here's a question from our HW, for example:

limn->infinity of [n-square( (2n)!/(n!)^2)]=?

Ours are all just very abstract conceptual questions... No one managed to figure them out though, and 2/3 of all the people who took it failed the class.

Luckily I got out before the damage became permanent.
