The discussion revolves around the feasibility of taking Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra simultaneously at university, particularly focusing on prerequisites and the applicability of concepts from one course to the other.
Participants express differing opinions on the necessity of the Calculus 2 prerequisite for Linear Algebra, with some believing it can be waived while others emphasize its importance. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the general policies of universities on this matter.
Participants do not provide specific details on the curriculum of their respective courses, which may affect the applicability of their arguments. There is also a lack of consensus on the general practices of universities regarding concurrent enrollment in these courses.
It depends on what is covered in the Linear Algebra course. If the course covers inner products on function spaces, these are usually defined as integrals, which I assume is what will be covered in your Calc 2 course. Your university has Calc 2 as a prereq for a reason.Mark Wolter said:I'm in a bit of a dilemma. At my university, Calc 2 is a prerequisite to Linear Algebra. However, I have been told that it's totally doable to take both at the same time. What do you guys think? Do most universities wave this requirement if you take them concurrently? Thanks!
