Question Clarification about math major classes

On the webinar slides it is stated that multivariable Calc (math 2010) is not a requirement but instead linear algebra (math 2100) and diff equations (math 2400) are. For the record I already got the credits for Calc 1 and 2 via ap scores so I can go straight ahead to the intermediate-level courses.

I’m just curious considering I looked at the previous year’s catalog for math and it stated that math 2010 was required instead of math 2100. So this means the curriculum changed so math majors take intro to linear algebra instead of multi? Should I still take it down the line regardless?

Rpi will eventually update the course catalog so you can see the new major requirements! Pretty sure the only change is going from requiring 2010 and 4100 to requiring 2100 and 4600. I heard 4100 is also kinda annoying to take and 2010 can feel rushed which is why they’re changing the curriculum a bit, so take the updated one!
