The discussion centers around the difficulty comparison between MAT224 and MAT244 at the University of Toronto. MAT224 focuses on linear algebra, while MAT244 covers ordinary differential equations (ODE). Participants note that MAT244 may be more suitable for math specialists, but both courses require a solid foundation in prior math courses. Specifically, MAT224 is a continuation of MAT223, suggesting that students who struggled with MAT223 may find MAT224 challenging without additional effort. For MAT244, a strong grasp of first-year calculus concepts, including derivatives and integrals, is essential, and familiarity with multivariate calculus can be beneficial. Overall, both courses have distinct content and challenges, making direct comparisons difficult.
