math elective

I have a 4000 level math elective to take in order to get my Mathematics minor, i'm a CS major.
So, I was thinking about taking Diff Eq. or Linear Algebra
for anyone that has taken both, what did you find to be easier, why? k thx

Shit I don't know, it's all easy and hard in their own special ways.  Do you like graphs of curves and lines?  Do you like sets of numbers arranged in rectangular arrays?  Whatever you like is fine.

For practical applications, I'd say Differential Equations are more useful in physics and engineering, while you'll see a lot more Linear Algebra in advanced CS classes. I also find LA easier, but then I never quite grokked integrals.

I actually took both my last semester in high school and the most interesting thing about doing that was seeing the way in which both courses tied into each other. But since you're not doing that I guess I can only say that I vastly preferred linear algebra. That's really just an empty statement to you though. Anyway, as far as undergraduate linear algebra courses go, many of them emphasize techniques over concepts. I'd try to stay away from those, but then I'm a math major and don't know much about the applications involved in computer science. All I can say is that, depending on whether or not theory and the "big picture" both take priority in the linear algebra class you take, this might just be your first real math course. I wasn't so lucky with the one I took sadly.

do LA, it will show up far more often in anything else. it'll even show up in differential equations at times.

also, stop thinking about how to take the easy way out, you're in college now.

wtf kind of high school has differential equations and linear algebra classes?
