Linear Algebra + Mathematical Proof - Summer

AI Thread Summary
A student is facing a scheduling conflict between taking Differential Equations and Linear Algebra and is considering an alternative course, Introduction to Linear Programming, which covers topics like the simplex algorithm and game theory. The student is uncertain about the necessity of Mathematical Proof for their Math/Physics major, noting that it is listed as optional and has a low average grade based on upperclassmen feedback. There is a discussion about whether to take Linear Algebra and Mathematical Proof in the summer and the importance of Mathematical Proof in relation to Linear Algebra. The conversation emphasizes the need to consult an academic advisor for guidance on course selection and major requirements, with clarification that advisors are typically available for specific departments.

I was planning to take differential equations with Linear Algebra, but there is a conflict so I can't take both.

Finally there is a course called Introduction to Linear Programming

Introduction to Linear Programming

Linear programming problems, dual problems, the simplex algorithm, solution of primal and dual problems, sensitivity analysis. Additional topics chosen from: Karmarkar's algorithm, non-linear programming, game theory, applications.

In my Physics/Math Calendar, it doesn't say I have to take it, so I am wondering what is it really...

Also, in my Calendar, for some reason it says Mathematical Proof is optional for even Math majors...



Feels like some sort of Computer Science Major thing
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Anyone...?

My upperclassmen advised me AGAINST taking Mathematical Proof because the average is almost alawys 54%~ish with highest mark being 80%~ish over the last three years...
 
What is your question?

Should I take Linear Algebra + Mathematical Proof in the summer. How important is Mathematical Proof for Math/Physics majors? Does Mathematical Proof complement LA?
 
You need to talk to your advisor.

I know you said you don't know who he is. You need to find out.

No, this one different, I found the one I have on my college, but I am studying at another campus.

Wait, can you tell me what is an academic adviser? This job sounds too general, does this person help with every major out there?
 
There are usually a couple of advisors in every department.
