Upcoming Modules
Module 1 - Linear Algebra
Those attending the Linear Algebra module will gain proficiency in doing technical computations involving matrices such as solving eigenvalue problems and computing determinants. They will also be able to make the connection between such concrete computations and more abstract notions of vector spaces and linear maps between them.
Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- Evaluate mathematical expressions to compute quantities that deal with linear systems.
- Characterize a linear system in terms of the number of solutions, and whether the system is consistent or inconsistent.
- Apply elementary row operations to solve linear systems of equations. Characterize a set of vectors in terms of linear combinations, their span, and how they are related to each other geometrically.
- Characterize a set of vectors and linear systems using the concept of linear independence.
- Construct dependence relations between linearly dependent vectors.
- Identify and construct linear transformations of a matrix.
- Characterize linear transformations as onto and/or one-to-one.
Module 2 - Multivariable Calculus
In this course, students will learn how the notions of calculus are extended to functions of more than one variable in ways that facilitate both computational and geometric aspects. The course will have a strong geometric emphasis and will furnish the students with expertise in higher dimensional theorems such as Green’s theorem, Stokes’s theorem, and Gauss’s divergence theorem.
Module 3 - Differential Equations & PDEs
Students of this course will learn about ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations which form the central core of many branches of sciences as well as finance and economics. They will learn to apply many powerful analytical tools, such as the series method, Laplace transforms, and Fourier transforms, to solve these equations.
Module 4 - Differential Geometry
As a result of this course, students in many branches of physical sciences, mathematics, and machine learning, will have the powerful tool of analyzing the geometry of higher dimensional curved spaces and describe the dynamics of systems of interest. The students will learn about the formal aspects of derivatives and integration of functions and their generalizations on such curved spaces of arbitrary dimensions.
