Hello all.
Attempting to do some Linear Algebra and probably Calculus based Probability for senior year. I am homeschooled so I essentially self studied AP Calculus BC and got a 5. I like the idea of picking up textbooks and just working through them in a similar manner for Linear Algebra and Probability, but I have a couple questions.
First, am I missing out on anything with just the textbook? I have heard that Linear Algebra can be taught in a more proof based manner so having a teacher in that scenario could be very helpful.
On the other hand, I am trying to get into a top CS University such as MIT or CMU, are Community College courses rigorous enough? (Not for tranfer credit, but just to view for admission). And beyond admission, if I can be more rigorous with a textbook and learn more then I would prefer that option.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
