I am not in the honors program at my University but I really want to get good at math so I was thinking about perhaps enrolling in an honors section for the Discrete math and Linear Algebra classes I'll be taking next fall.
It seemed like the greater depth that these classes go would be really helpful for me in reaching my goal of becoming as good at math as I can. However, I'm worried that the greater degree of difficulty and being in a class with peers who are all way smarter than me could actually hinder my development and just lead to me feeling frustrated and lost.
What have you guys' experiences been with honors math classes? Do you think it would be more beneficial for a "non-honors" caliber student to take honors LA and DM or just regular? thanks a lot
EDIT: oh and something else. I am taking a computer science department version of Discrete math this semester so perhaps that would make it more realistic for me to handle the honors DM class? As for LA, I've never seen or done anything with it so that may be a bad idea
