<p>I’m planning to concentrate in computer science and eventually go into research (right now I’m interested in neuroscience research, but this could change in the future). I’m wondering which linear algebra course I should take. I have the option of taking the “regular” course or the honors course. At first, I assumed that it would be more beneficial for me to take the more proof-oriented honors course. However, I’ve been told by a few people that I should look into taking the regular version of the course, since it apparently focuses a lot more on practical applications and computations which will benefit a CS concentrator more than proofs will.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts about this? Should I take the more computational “regular” course or go for the more abstract honors course? Which will benefit a computer science concentrator more in the long run?</p>
