In the freshman year they usually take Integral Calculus and some flavor of linear algebra in no particular order. For many students linear algebra is their first math course at Georgia Tech. Linear algebra is a prerequisite for Multivariable Calculus and Differential equation, which engineers usually take (CS students do not). | |

| Jan 28, 2019 at 20:14 | comment | added | Igor Belegradek | Regarding the "current situation in the US". At Georgia Tech (where I work) all engineers take 2 credit linear algebra usually as freshman or sophomores. All CS students take 4 credit linear algebra (and some CS threads also require a second course in linear algebra). We also have many engineering grad students taking review of linear algebra. | |
