<p>I'm a rising senior interested in doing a PhD program in political science. I'm quite sure that my government credentials are solid (honors; 3.9; good faculty relationships; above 700 on each of GREs), but as I've begun looking at more graduate programs I notice that many have quite a bit of math involved and I've decided that I probably need to brush up with another course.</p>
<p>I have a decent background in statistics (having taken stats courses specifically for government/social science already) so I think that I need to take another more in depth math and I really only have room for one next year. I've essentially narrowed it down to either Multivariable Calculus or Linear Algebra. So, which one should I take, not necessarily to improve my chance at admission but rather to help me succeed if/when I get into a program?</p>
