 P: 41 Hey folks, I'm going to be taking a linear algebra class soon, and I'm wondering how much Calculus I should expect. (I love Calculus, btw) Thanks
 P: 461 In short - none.
 PF Patron HW Helper P: 2,328 Yeah, I doubt there will be much Calculus at all. Calculus will be assumed for some examples of vector spaces and what not, but that's it. I enjoyed Linear Algebra more than Calculus. The introductory stuff anyways.

## How much calculus in linear algebra?

I should point out that using linear algebra and calculus together is a very profitable venture.

It's just that it probably won't be done in your linear algebra course.
 HW Helper Sci Advisor P: 11,722 It would be the case if you were taking a course in "Analytical and Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$" Daniel.
 P: 41 Interesting... I was wondering because my school says that Calc 2 is a prerequisite to it.
