Consequences?!?

“Prestigious” universities often teach introductory math courses poorly. For example, Math 51 at Stanford (linear algebra and multivariable calculus in a single quarter) is possibly the single worst-conceived course at the university. Students come out of it not knowing much more than how to multiply matrices and take partial derivatives. Students who took linear algebra and multivariable calculus at a community college are better prepared for their upper-level coursework…

I saw something similar in a CS course at MIT. It was an upper level course, and it had the same problem. Way too much crammed into one semester. I didn’t take it. I saw an online version of it.
