Requirements
High school-level mathematics (grade 10). It will be extremely difficult to
follow without this skill.
If you want to start directly with the university-level part: Knowledge about
vectors, derivatives & integrals (NOT mandatory, because we discuss those
topics in the first part of the course)
Description
This course is for everyone who wants to learn applied mathematics on a college
and university level!
It is a complete course containing all relevant topics like Calculus, Algebra,
Statistics & Stochastics.
Advanced mathematics is relevant in many fields: Programming & IT, Engineering,
Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Pharmacy, ...), Business & Economics.
You are kindly invited to join this carefully prepared course in which we derive the
following concepts from scratch. I will present examples and give
you exercises (incl. solutions) for all topics.
College-level mathematics (10 hours)
