I just wanted to say thanks for the math class. The Mathematica lessons were great for visualizing the material and getting a grasp for how linear algebra works and how to use it. I took a linear algebra class several years ago as part of my bachelos degree in electrical engineering. I remember not enjoying that class very much because it was full of proofs and theorems that I did not understand very well or how to apply to the real world. This class was a much better experience!
C&M calculus has made me understand Economics and actually like it. Most people cringe when they hear that I am an Econ major, and I think their reaction results from the fact that they really don't understand it. Never have I used complex equations in Economic applications, but what I have learned visually from C&M calculus helps me understand graphs and concepts inclass everyday. This comprehension has made me realise the incredible logic behind economics, and now the subject fascinates me.
