Hi everyone,

I am interested in applying to be a teaching assistant in my university's multivariable calculus class or linear algebra class. I took both of these courses already and seem to like them equally well. I will have solid recommendations and grades.

Any recommendations on which course would be better to be a TA? Being a TA would help me remember the material better, so is multivariable or linear better to remember for higher-level math? (I plan to be a math major.)

What research are you going to do?

If you'd ask me, I would do multivariable, because it's more difficult. So staying in touch with the material is more needed than linear.
However, if you're going to focus on algebra in you research, than I'd go for linear algebra...
