>You don't make students take Linear Algebra before differential equations?

In my university curriculum, linear algebra was taught after.

Perhaps my ODE course was watered down, but that wasn't a problem at all for us.

We had to take 2 linear algebra and an ODE course (amongst other things). The first LA class was second year level and the second was senior level. The ODEs were in between. I feel that's a good way to go about it.
