Between math, CS, and EE courses I "learned" truth tables three or four times.

I dunno about dot products, but I could have used a second or third pass at Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors.

Could be a BS/MS program, or a university that does mandatory internships, or both. Or maybe the TC just changed majors at least once.

You should be really good at dot products now. I like how you can use it to determine if something is hitting you from ahead or from behind

But did you know you can perform translation as a matrix operation if you use homogeneous coordinates?

I hated linear algebra. Especially the 'easier' concepts like systems of linear equations and the Gauss algorithm

Well then you still have neat things to learn about vector addition

Ah

Calc 3, Physics 2, and Statics are all going over vectors again this semester. Good for people that diddnt pay attention every other time, but boring as shit for me

Kind of defeats the purpose of a pre requisite course, eh?

Totally.
Besides, it's not rare for students to really understand fundamental concepts once they're applied in later classes

I'm sure I could do just as good a job with how much it's been drilled into my skull.

Professors are jaded because students regularly do a brain dump once the semester ends so they find themselves having to give an extended review of stuff their students should already know for the class. Blame the American education system for teaching to tests rather than teaching to learn.

But could you do it with examples pulled from 3D graphics and game programming???
