    Course
In summary, the conversation is about the difficulty of two math courses, MAT224 and MAT244, and whether they are similar to each other or to a previous course, MAT223. It is mentioned that MAT247 is considered a better math course and that MAT224 is linear algebra while MAT244 is an ODE course. It is also suggested that for MAT224, one should be comfortable with first-year calculus and have a basic understanding of multivariate calculus. The conversation ends with a request for course names and information.

Hi, I am student from u of t.
I want to ask MAT224 or MAT244 is easier?
Btw, I have already taken MAT223, but not good though.
Thanks a lot!

I don't think we can help here since course numberings are specific to the school you go to.

MAT244 or MAT247? MAT244 doesn't even contain the same material as MAT224. Anyway, MAT247 is a much better "math course", it's for the math specialists.

But what if i have taken MAT223, is it similar to MAT224?
Is MAT244 hard?
thanks!

As wisvuze already mentioned, it's hard to compare the two courses since they contain different materials: MAT224 is linear algebra, while MAT244 is an ODE course.

In any case, I would guess that you need to put in some work for MAT224 if you struggled in MAT223, since it's a continuation of the latter. As for MAT244, you need to be comfortable with the things you learned in your first-year calculus course (derivatives, integrals, sequences and series etc.). Also, it helps if you study ahead and learn a bit of multivariate calculus.
 

Related to MAT224 or MAT244: Which is Easier for U of T Students?

1. What is the difference between MAT224 and MAT244?

MAT224 is a course in linear algebra, while MAT244 is a course in differential equations. Both are important areas of mathematics and are often required for science and engineering degrees.

2. Which course is more difficult: MAT224 or MAT244?

The difficulty of a course can vary for each individual student. However, many students find MAT244 to be more challenging due to its focus on mathematical modeling and its application in various fields.

3. Can I take MAT224 and MAT244 at the same time?

It is not recommended to take both courses at the same time, as they both require a solid understanding of calculus and other mathematical concepts. It is better to take them sequentially to build a strong foundation.

4. Which course is more useful in real-world applications?

Both MAT224 and MAT244 have practical applications in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and economics. However, MAT244 is more focused on real-world problems and their mathematical solutions.

5. Is it necessary to take both MAT224 and MAT244?

It depends on your academic and career goals. If your program requires both courses, then it is necessary to take them. However, if you have a particular interest in one area of mathematics, you may choose to only take the corresponding course.
