SCI 111 Mathematical Ideas and Methods in Contexts

Content

Mathematics is the language used to grasp understanding of, to explore, and to gain insight in any of the sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, and so forth, cannot be well understood or appreciated without sufficient skills in mathematics. The aim of this introductory course in the mathematics track is to learn basic widely-used mathematical techniques, such as differentiation, various techniques for integration, complex numbers, matrices and differential equations. These techniques are put into context in projects related to real situations in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, economics, sociology, etc. In this course we will continue to construct knowledge on the mathematical basis you have already founded.
