Ughhh linear algebra is so hard!

Not yuropoor, my ignorant burger friend. But no, freshmen do real anal from Tao, complex anal is anal.3 and it's second year class for most students.
But we do take homological algebra in third year and "commutative rings and modules" right after linear algebra, which means second year for most students.
Though i know of a place where *some* students take complex anal as freshmen. That institution regularly places in top3 in IMO and IOI, so it does seem to have an effect.
Just offering a perspective from a fellow 3rd world country. At least our BAs and MAs are not useless and easily get into your grad programs, taking your places :^)

It's not engineering, that much is sure

South Asia?
I know the feel

Just copy and paste from stack overflow (like all progaymers do)

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>mfw uc davis mechanical engineer
>linear algebra was the only math class I passed the first time through because vectors are literally that easy
Brainless right? [Nervous laugh]
Anyway I assure you the problem is exclusive to our CS majors.
Also some lib arts need to take that class too probably.

>grad school CS
>not easy as fuck
maybe for systems but if you are doing theoretical shit like ML
E-Z

>mah capitalism is the problem
no. Capitalism is what drives most innovation and competition.

He said anal. kek

Source please. If anything capitalism drastically holds back development by focusing on pointless wealth hoarding for the few.
