Topic	Am I the only one who finds linear algebra harder than integral calculus?
frozenshock 02/07/18 12:51:54 PM #1:	I did integral calculus last semester and I did very well. I had some trouble grasping stuff like Taylor and Mclaurin series at the end but with some practice I was ok But linear algebra is a whole other ball game. I just find it ten times harder. Like... I can easily memorize all the rules and theory. But then I have to do row operations and it's like... over and over I have stuff like -5/4 minus -17/82 times -41/113 and things like that. I always end up punching the numbers wrong on the calculator and then I end up with matrices that have entries like 218/1473 whereas the solution has a nice clean matrix with just integers or simple fractions Why is it so hard? --- I don't hate people, people hate me. <cite>frozenshock posted [p:895640245] in Am I the o...
