Should I Continue Taking Linear Algebra?

[JyN]

In my first semester i had to take elementary linear algebra. I kind of like the course, even though it is quite difficult, and plan on taking linear algebra II. Is there a lot of application of linear algebra in engineering, specifically electronic engineering?

In short, should i continue to take linear algebra.

Yes, EE is full of linear algebra. Just two examples: it comes up in network analysis, and in any kind of statistical signal processing (adaptive systems, e.g.).

Linear Algebra is everywhere in engineering it's even at the heart of spice.

It funny though because often it seems as if you don't need it because many problems/examples in upper division classes are purposely simplified to allow one to avoid it. And many tools do a good job of hiding the math as well.

It makes sense though as they want you to focus on the new material, or core problem, and not the math.
