I’d like to meet the mom that taught him Differential Equations, or even Calculus 3.

FYI, linear algebra is fun, Differential Equations is not.

Actually I preferred Diff EQ to Linear Algebra. I found Linear Algebra to be tedious!

I didn’t teach him any of those classes, lol! He took them at a local college while he was in high school.

However, I do have an engineering degree and took all those classes myself in the early eighties. I was in the minority, but I thought differential equations was very easy. And I’m really not some kind of a genius. I think I just had a really good professor or something. I vaguely remember converting the differential equations to algebraic equations and then solving those.

I don’t think I took linear algebra. Was that matrices and determinants? I feel like I encountered those in another course.
