No unnecessary risks
This specialization helps build the foundational material to use mathematics as a tool to model, understand, and interpret the world around us. This is accomplished through the study of functions, their properties, and their application to data analysis. The concepts of pre-calculus provide the toolset for the learner to begin their scientific career, preparing them for future courses in science and mathematics.
This specialization is intended for all learners, not just those interested in advanced courses in mathematics. Those interested in natural sciences, computer science, psychology, sociology, or similar fields will truly benefit from this detailed course, applying the skills learned in their field to the analysis and interpretation of the material being taught.
Learners will be challenged not only with new ideas, but also with new applications of old topics. Real-life data, practice exercises, and regular assessments help drive and reinforce the content in this course, leading to deeper learning and understanding.
In each module, learners will be given examples of solved problems that can be used to build their skills and confidence, and will then be tested with measured questionnaires to show what they have learned.
Finally, each specialization course concludes with a final exam that learners can use to demonstrate their proficiency in the material studied.
