SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparative difficulty of MAT224 and MAT244 at the University of Toronto. MAT224 focuses on linear algebra, while MAT244 covers ordinary differential equations (ODE). Students who have completed MAT223 may find MAT224 challenging as it builds on that material. Success in MAT244 requires a solid understanding of first-year calculus concepts, including derivatives and integrals, along with some familiarity with multivariate calculus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear algebra concepts (MAT224)
  • Knowledge of ordinary differential equations (MAT244)
  • Familiarity with first-year calculus (derivatives, integrals)
  • Basic multivariate calculus concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Review linear algebra principles relevant to MAT224
  • Study ordinary differential equations techniques for MAT244
  • Reinforce first-year calculus skills, focusing on derivatives and integrals
  • Explore multivariate calculus topics to prepare for MAT244
USEFUL FOR

Students at the University of Toronto considering MAT224 or MAT244, particularly those with a background in MAT223 or first-year calculus, will benefit from this discussion.

Hi, I am student from u of t.
I want to ask MAT224 or MAT244 is easier?
Btw, I have already taken MAT223, but not good though.
Thanks a lot!

I don't think we can help here since course numberings are specific to the school you go to.
 
MAT244 or MAT247? MAT244 doesn't even contain the same material as MAT224. Anyway, MAT247 is a much better "math course", it's for the math specialists.
 
But what if i have taken MAT223, is it similar to MAT224?
Is MAT244 hard?
thanks!
 
Can you please give the course names and course information??
 
As wisvuze already mentioned, it's hard to compare the two courses since they contain different materials: MAT224 is linear algebra, while MAT244 is an ODE course.

In any case, I would guess that you need to put in some work for MAT224 if you struggled in MAT223, since it's a continuation of the latter. As for MAT244, you need to be comfortable with the things you learned in your first-year calculus course (derivatives, integrals, sequences and series etc.). Also, it helps if you study ahead and learn a bit of multivariate calculus.
