| Jan 22, 2015 at 19:14 | comment | added | Anthony | My primary motive for asking this question is there are two good linear algebra massive open online courses starting in early february. They are introductory courses, and based on the responses here and another forum I'e decided it would be worth the effort, especially considering I am very interested in earth science computing and want to make that my career within two years. I can study single variable calculus concurrently with the linear algebra course. | |

If you want to know how models work, you need to understand the equations but that doesn't mean you need to understand how the solvers work - just the strengths and weaknesses (although it can't hurt to understand more). | |

However, the OP stated My goal is not just to understand how to push the buttons in some software and especially but to really understand how groundwater modeling works.
