>>12356841math professors at my college said that math majors are required to do discrete math, linear algebra, and analysis because:
discrete math is easy concepts and hard proofs
linear algebra is hard concepts and easy proofs
analysis is hard concepts and hard proofs
linalgebra may be hard to grasp conceptually, but there's fuckall hard about doing something as algorithmic as finding the basis of a kernel, especially in R^2 and not some abstract infinite-dimensional vector space.
