This is a very good course to take as an intro to advanced mathematics. There is also usually an Intro to Adv Math in most undergrad programs. I've taken both at the same time, and they have lots of overlap. I've found both to be TREMENDOUSLY helpful in approaching proof laden courses like analysis and abstract algebra. It really helped me understand things I had problems with in linear algebra--which I dropped out of because I didn't take discrete or intro to adv math.

Highly recommend anyone interested in higher maths to take this class.



I don't understand how discrete math would have helped you in linear algebra?


Discrete math usually serves as an introduction to methods of proofs, which would most definitely help with linear algebra.


It would by introducing Boolean Math and as an intro into logic + proofs.

Aside from that, it's a requirement to take descrete mathematics before going onto Linear Alegbra at most universities.
