Mathematics - Course Oultine
COURSE OUTLINE
Course Description:
This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of mathematical
concepts and their applications in computational mathematics. The course explores
foundational topics in arithmetic, number theory, algebra, geometry, proofing techniques,
combinatorics, matrices, and vector spaces, probability, and statistics. Students will develop
a deep understanding of these mathematical principles and their computational
implementations. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, students will learn to
apply computational methods to solve complex mathematical problems.
