This is a standalone course providing an overview of mathematics and modelling, useful for those who have been away from academia for a number of years. Unused math skills can fade if not used regularly, so this course will bring a greater level of competency.
This course is not intended for first-time learners.
Course Material (2023):
Course Topics
Problems
- Problem 1 Algebra
