Overview
MATH 1554 is basically just MATH 1553 but with an extra couple chapters. Required for CS majors.
How it fits in the curriculum
Linear Algebra doesn't use any calculus, making it different from intro courses such as MATH 1551 and MATH 1552.
However, future calculus classes like Multivariable Calculus (MATH 2550/2551) and Differential Equations (MATH 2552) will use Linear Algebra concepts such as matrices, determinants, characteristic equations, etc. Additionally, Linear Algebra is important for CS math classes such as Applied Combinatorics (MATH 3012) and Algorithms (CS 3510)
Current Registration Info
This is a linked course. You must register for a lecture section and a corresponding studio section with the same letter.
For the lecture sections, notice how they all include one time-block very late in the day. This is likely the test period, which will only meet a few times per semester. [TODO some1 confirm]
If you enjoy math theory and proofs, consider MATH 1564
Resources
Interactive Linear Algebra [1553]
A free online, interactive textbook made by Georgia Tech professors. It's for MATH 1553, but it covers most of the concepts for MATH 1554
