260 Mathematics and Physical Science Course Programs

The CAS PY 105/106 course sequence satisfies premedical requirements. CAS PY 106 covers some of the basic principles underlying the physics of everyday life, including electricity and magnetism, direct-current circuits, waves, optics, and modern physics. Students must register for three sections: lecture, discussion, and a laboratory.

Our mission is to enhance our students’ intellectual skills through the rigorous study of physics. We offer a spectrum of courses that reflects both the integral character of physics in the liberal arts curriculum and its essential role in engineering and technology.

Analytical chemistry techniques and instrumentation are evolving rapidly. Stay ahead of the curve and advance your knowledge of the increasingly sophisticated analytical chemistry and instrumental techniques with our flexible, multidisciplinary, online course.

Learn the Math skills you need to apply for a STEM subject at third level and make your future career a success. This free online Foundation Diploma in Mathematics - Science, Technology and Engineering course is designed to help people pursuing careers in Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). STEM careers are some of the most highly paid and respected in the world.

Covers curriculum theory and instructional practices and processes as they relate to the secondary mathematics classroom. Topics covered include: purpose and mission of mathematics education; knowing mathematics versus knowing mathematics for teaching; differentiation strategies for diverse learners in the teaching of mathematics; investigating various strategies of instruction; instructional technology; mathematics assessments, rubrics, and grading; designing engaging lessons aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

We take you through important Diploma in Mathematics concepts step by step in this free online mathematics diploma course. Enhance and refresh your mathematical knowledge with this diploma course. We cover a wide range of topics, including algebra, statistics, calculus, geometry and trigonometry.

Applications of mathematics for personal financial decision-making. Systems of equations, exponential functions, logarithms, probability, descriptive statistics, and numerical simulation for modeling saving, borrowing, inflation, purchasing power, taxation, government benefits, risk management, insurance, annuities, and investments.

The Seasonal School will introduce participants to the advanced application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods for fluid dynamics, a topic of growing relevance for addressing complex scientific and engineering challenges in atmospheric, environmental, aerospace and industrial contexts.

In ESEAS - Exploring Sea and Space: Technologies, Opportunities and Challenges last centuries, humanity has fully explored and mapped the emerged fraction of the Earth's surface; today it has a growing interest in exploring and exploiting the submerged fraction of the Earth as well as the nearby space regions, intensively.

Differentiation and integration of functions of one variable. Same topics as CAS MA 123, but with less emphasis on mathematical generality and more on applications. Especially suitable for students concentrating in the biological and social sciences.

Elementary treatment of probability densities, means, variances, correlation, independence, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, and p-values. Students learn to answer questions such as how can a pollster use a sample to predict the uncertainty of an election?

Introduction to Construction Materials and Calorimetry course will teach you about characterization techniques and how to investigate material failures in construction. The other part of this course is about calorimetry, which is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. By knowing the change in heat, it can be determined whether or not a reaction is exothermic (releases heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat).

The SP2ARK - Space Plasma Propulsion: Advancements, Research, and Know-How Seasonal School will introduce participants to the topic of plasma-based electric propulsion (EP), which represents an enabling technology for a growing number of space applications, from low Earth orbit constellations to interplanetary missions. Interest in EP systems has accelerated in recent years, thanks to the technological maturity achieved by several concepts and the growth of a new space economy.

Calculus-based introduction to basic principles of physics, emphasizing Newtonian mechanics, conservation laws, and thermodynamics. For science majors and engineers, and for premedical students who seek a more analytical course than CAS PY 105/106. Interactive, student-centered lectures and laboratory. Students must register for two sections: lecture and a laboratory.

Extends concepts and techniques of calculus and develops further applications. Topics include higher dimensional calculus, applications of vector analysis, uniform convergence of series, complex series, improper integrals, gamma and beta functions, Stirling's formula, and Fourier series and transform.

Logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions. Sequences and series; Taylor's series with the remainder. Methods of integration. Calculus I and II together constitute an introduction to calculus of a function of a single real variable.
