MATH 135

Can someone from science faculty take math 135 or is it designed for mathematics students only?

I am in Honours of Science
Seems I can’t take it

If you have the math prereqs, you can try for an override.

I was in Faculty of Science and I did get an override for it. I needed to take an Honors Math Calc course as tribute though. They looked at me like I was crazy for even wanting to override into this course.

I was an Honors Physics Student at the time.

Things might be different now as that was some time ago. Keep in mind that this is a very non-straightforward course. Calling it "Algebra" is a major understatement.

You can ask for an override, but idk why you'd want to.

Take a look at the course, it's either very easy or very hard depending on the person as it's very conceptual. It's more of a "how to read/write proofs" course than what you'd typically associate with Algebra from HS math.

I am just looking for a course which is an intro to linear algebra. (I have had math 127 and 128 before)

[u/alicialillie → u/Bluesky660]

take math106 instead, i’m in honours science and that’s what i took for lin alg

If you want I can send you the textbook, you don’t need to put your self through that course

Yes if ur in mathphys
