Question

Is there really going to be a calculus group?

How was that decided?

Why wouldn't there be a Linear Algebra group?

Answer 1

why not request a number theory group @estudier ...........

Answer 2

It was decided since calculus is a much more advanced part of mathematics.

However, calculus in itself will be a subset of mathematics.

Answer 3

Much more advanced than what?

It's just a bunch of formulas and computation (leaving aside real analysis).

Answer 4

If you want to divide up the university curriculum, then Calculus and Linear Algebra have equal weight.

Answer 5

Then again, dividing by subject matter might be a mistake.

Why not divide by beginner, intermediate and advanced (or any such gradation)?

Answer 6

I agree.

Answer 7

i think Discrete Mathematics is just as important as Linear Algebra....it's all about wits after all....

Answer 8

Indeed it is however this tends to be presented more and more by computing/CS departments.

Anyway, it is another reason not to divide by subject.

Answer 9

We can't divide up every form of mathematics. We'll end up with a million different subjects.

They'll be more segregation of groups since black and white people on a 1900's bus.

Answer 10

I heard that, we *are* going to have little groups and parent groups too.

Answer 11

" little groups and parent groups" ?

Answer 12

Pardon me, what I meant was 'child groups'.

Answer 13

i wonder what OSF's child group is

Answer 14

Well We Have A Mathematics Group Which Counts For All Subs Including Calculus And Linear Algebra.So Do We Really Need To Make So Many Portions ?

Answer 15

Oh, so it's a subgroup, not a separate group?

I still not too sure about subbing by subject....
