So this is the content of the EPGY (stanford) online linear algebra class that I am considering: Matrices Linear Equations Vector Spaces Bases and Coordinates Linear Transformations Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues Diagonalization The textbook is "Linear Algebra" by Bronson. So I, given my work schedule, I can only take either the online linear algebra class or the in-class matrix algebra (math 160). The matrix algebra class at a local university covers systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, introduction to vector spaces and linear transformations, applications. My doubt regarding the online linear algebra class: I am not sure how seriously adcoms take online courses. My doubt regarding the in-class matrix algebra: adcoms might look down on it regarding it as too simple. On the other hand, I graduated froma European university almost a decade ago and have only done the GRE math since (scored an 800 though), so it could be convenient to start with something more basic. Any advice more than welcome!

Hello everyone, I want to strengthen my application for the next cycle of economics phd applications by taking math courses. My current math background: solid grades (A) in a few undergraduate courses that basically cover Chiang's textbook taken a decade ago (I am in my early 30s) and an 800 score in the math part of the GRE. This fall I will enroll in a real analysis class at a local university (I will prepare for that through self-study). This summer, given my crazy work schedule, I have two options: an online linear algebra course at EPGY or a matrix algebra class at a local university, which will cover: systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, introduction to vector spaces and linear transformations, applications. I only have time for one of the two options. Which would work best for my application? Any advice welcome!
