Should I learn calculus or linear algebra first?

I would suggest learning linear algebra first, and then multivariate calculus. (Many of the applications of multivariate calculus also rely on linear algebra, whereas multivariate calculus is not required to do linear algebra.

Do you learn linear algebra after calculus?

If you are a math major: As an entering student, you will probably go into Calculus II, then Linear Algebra, followed by Calculus III. In these courses, you will learn the foundations of modern mathematics, and advanced techniques of proof.

Do I need calculus to study linear algebra?

You do not really need any calculus to begin studying linear algebra. You do need to understand functions and high-school level algebra to start learning linear algebra.

Is Linear algebra considered advanced math?

Originally Answered: How is linear algebra used in advanced math? This is not a use in advanced math, but instead in real life.

Do you need Calc 2 before linear algebra?

So, for those students wishing to get ahead and get Linear Algebra in their completed column in their academic plan, you do need to complete Calculus II first, which means also completing Calculus I first, even though Linear Algebra has nothing to do with either course.

Can I take linear algebra and calculus at the same time?

Students are strongly discouraged from taking two courses in the calculus and linear algebra group at the same time, especially if one course is a prerequisite for the other.

Should I learn linear algebra or calculus first?

Calculus and Linear algebra are both fundamental topics to the study of almost all higher level mathematics and find their way into countless applications. You will surely benefit from learning both if you wish to pursue study or a career in engineering, most sciences, information technology, statistics, finance, etc.

Can Calculus 3 be taken before calculus 2?

The only pre rec for calculus 3 is calculus 2. Yes it can. You should seek advise from someone who knows your work better though – you may benefit from the algebra course anyway. I cannot tell from here 🙂 Would I also have to learn proof writing when I take linear algebra?

Should I take linear algebra before or after multivariable algebra?

The required linear algebra for multivariable is basically taught by rote and looks very strange and funny without a linear algebra course to explain it. So if your college/university gives you the option to choose the order, take linear algebra right before multivariable.

Why is multivariable calculus not taught in high school?

This is mostly due to the fact that it deals with multi variable derivatives, which by definition are linear transformations, which is one of the big topics in linear algebra. Unfortunately, many schools in the US have decided that multivariable calc should come first and then linear algebra.
