My introductory linear algebra(math department, not C"S", enginqueering, or the likes) professor says we will "be using python to do calculations." Is this a bad sign? Should I leave now lest becoming a brainlet?

I guess it is a good sign if you're not doing pure maths, and if you are doing pure maths i would say leave if they use it for easy stuff like calculating a 3x3 determinant or the like. I don't see why math students would tackle real problems like engineering students would, with actual difficult 10-digit numbers.

Hahaha I had a less memed introduction to linear algebra in my CS curricula. Get fucked, fag-ass. :')

I fell for the """"""""decent"""""""" state school meme.

Why the fuck aren't you using Matlab?

Good question. No idea. My school has 2 intro different linear algebra courses. A code based one that uses matlab(for engies) that is offered from the engie department, and an old fashioned by the book, traditionally no software usage class offered by the math department. Professor wants to do it his way I guess? I hope it's the right way.

Why the fuck do you need to do calculations in an intro to linalg class? the only place we ever used software (or calculators) were in numerical methods classes, which are seperate and need the theoretical classes as prerequisites.

Yeah, why use a free, open-source, widely used, general purpose programming language when you can use a expensive proprietary software which no one uses except universities and giant global companies.
