Mathematics Introduction
Students will learn how to reason logically, apply mathematics and statistics to problems with real-world applications, and communicate ideas within their field.
You will learn the foundations of computation and abstract logic. Here are the areas of mathematics that you will cover.
The Foundations of Change
- Calculus: You’ll learn how to calculate everything from the precise rate a balloon inflates to the volume of an engine.
- Linear Algebra: You’ll learn how to solve massive sets of variables simultaneously.
The Logic of the Why
- Analysis: You’ll take everything you learned in Calculus and prove it from scratch.
- Abstract Algebra: You’ll study the connections between different areas of math.
The Power of Prediction
- Statistics: You’ll build the skills to determine if a scientific result or business trend is a discovery or fluke.
- Modeling Probability: You’ll use math to map out insurance risks, stock market fluctuations, and the strategic moves of Game Theory.
The Modern Edge
- Scientific Computing: You’ll bridge the gap between pure mathematics and high-level programming.
