So stressed with Math 54 midterm now

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley
1

<p>I feel like there are so much therom and formulas need to study and don't know where to start. Can anyone help me with some advice. Thanks a lot!~</p>

2

<p>Same with me, I hate that class so much</p>

<p>Holtz? I don’t imagine you’d need to know every single point of the invertible matrix theorem or anything, especially because it expands every chapter. In Math 54, it seems like everything we learn is just a restatement of finding the solution to a Ax = b</p>

4

<p>I think this Math is the hardest math material I have ever learned…</p>

5

<p>Not sure what can we do about these math skills in the future life, seems so abstract and unpractical…</p>

6

<p>Linear transformations are really big in Computer Graphics. When you need to solve a bunch of circuit problems, RREF is your best friend. God knows we practiced that enough!</p>

7

<p>If I have to pick one lower-div technical course that actually helps for upper division engineering classes, I have to pick Math 54. It seems useless with all the theories, but they are very important. Study well, b/c you will need it in the future.</p>

<p>While, I am just an econ major and may go for a master in finance in the future. That’s why I take this course. And Now I start to think whether it is a good idea to go for an area requiring so much abstract math.</p>

<p>Econ grad school loves to see math oriented people. Many people do a CS/Econ double major because they complement each other well so don’t regret it! :]</p>

10

<p>Unfortunately, 54 is really important in chemistry too.</p>

11

<p>Math 54 is pretty important in all scientific fields</p>

12

<p>Has anyone taken Math 54 with Pro. Holtz before. She seems pretty nice. Does anyone know how she will grade the class? Like around how much percentage is an A?</p>

<p>re:eyeheartphysics, Many people do a CS/Econ double major because they complement each other well so don’t regret it!</p>

<p>I can understand how econ may relate to Math since most of its model requires math proof support. But I just don’t get it how can Econ and CS relate to each other?</p>
