In summary: It's not that easy.I'll try that. Maybe my brain just works better with Calculus. I hated Vectors in high school.What "identities" are you talking about? I don't remember having to memorize any identities in linear algebra.

nah...I wouldn't think he's THAT evil. Probably IMO problems.
LA is as important as Caculus, and may be even more useful when you learning QM. It's usual to calculate eigenvalues and diagonalise matrixes when resolving QM problems. However, not everything learned in LA courses is very needed, though it won't be bad to be familiar with all of them. Fairly speaking LA is difficult so you should find some collections of problems to complete. Practice makes perfect.
