Course Description

This specialization allows you to develop the foundational material necessary to use mathematics to model, understand and interpret the world around you. This can be done by studying functions and their properties as well as data analysis. Precalculus concepts provide the tools necessary to start a scientific career. They prepare you for calculus and science courses. This specialization is open to all learners and not only those who are interested in mathematics further. This course is beneficial to all students interested in natural sciences, computer science, psychology, sociology or similar. They will be able to apply the skills they have learned to their field to analyze and interpret the subject matter. The course will provide learners with new ideas and new ways to apply an old subject. This course uses real-life data, exercises, and regular assessments to help motivate and reinforce content.
