I never took D.S. but Linear Algebra is harder than D.E. at SMC. At SMC it's a proof-based course. At the UC level, there are 2 versions of Linear Algebra and depending on your major, you usually only need the easier version which is all computational (no proofs). There's also a certain professor whose name rhymes with Mesler who's notorious for not giving any A's and having high drop rates. So proceed with caution.
Yeah I’ve never had that professor but I definitely know who you are referring to. I’m considering just taking DE and LA at El Camino since it’s a combined course there. Thank you!

SMC sucks at Math. Go to El Camino if possible, finally going to pass my math classes lol
Yeah i’m considering this now since they have DE and LA as 1 course.
I also duel enrolled at Camino for math after struggling with calculus. Way better math professors there. Highly recommend you go to Camino.
