Geometry is important for vector analysis?

[Jo01]

Hello from Italy
I'm switching from CS to Physics BS because i personally find it more various and interesting (and in Rome there is one of the best physics school in the world).
Mathematical analysis is a common subject and my credits will be recognised but i didn't study Linear algebra yet because in CS is at second year.
To avoid to loose the first semester can I study Vector analysis (sometimes called Analysis 2) without Algebra (Geometry) or it is essential?
Thank you and sorry for my poor english :)

This is really something you should discuss with staff at your university. It depends on the curriculum of the different courses and the assumed prerequisites.
