Introduction to key concepts from calculus (differentiation and integration), probability (discrete and continuous random variables), and linear algebra (vector spaces, matrices, and linear systems). The course links mathematics and computational thinking through problem sets requiring students to answer mathematically-posed questions using computation. Students must register for two sections: lecture and discussion. 4 cr.
