Math and Logic

This free course introduces students to essential ideas related to vectors and matrices.  These mathematical structures form the foundations for many key topics in complex systems, such as dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and network science.

Optimization is the search for the best and most effective solution. In this mathematics course, we will examine optimization through a Business Analytics lens. You will be introduced to the to the theory, algorithms, and applications of optimization.

Differential equations are the language of the models we use to describe the world around us. In this mathematics course, we will explore temperature, spring systems, circuits, population growth, and biological cell motion to illustrate how differential equations can be used to model nearly everything in the world around us.

Learn MATLAB and Octave and start experimenting with matrix manipulations, data visualizations, functions and mathematical computations.

Learn the systems of linear equations, and connect them to vectors and vector spaces, matrices, and linear transformations.
