Trig is not bad at all. Couple dozen rules to memorize and you’re golden.
Now Calculus… Integrals…
The worst part of calc was honestly the rude awakening that my algebra skills needed woooork
I love linear algebra! It’s one of the coolest and most satisfying maths (for me personally)
Quoting a relatively famous mathematician, linear algebra is one of the few branches of math we’ve really truly understood. It’s very, very well behaved
I have learned linear algebra in a few different contexts now, and each one I learned made it easier. When I first learned it, it was in a pure maths context and I found it tricky. It began to make more sense in university, when I learned it in the context of x-ray crystallography. I think more so than most topics, linear algebra really needs the context of it’s usefulness for it to really make sense, but also, I think I’d have struggled with the x-ray crystallography if I hadn’t already got a grounding in linear algebra from a pure maths angle.
Yeah I got zero context when I learned linear algebra and it seems everyone here that loves it is pointing to something outside the math itself for why. My brain only knows it as a bunch of nonsense matrix rules you gotta memorize.
I cosign this.
Well, fuck the idea of moral sin as well! I don’t care about it either.
…and punctuation.
