Syllabus

WEEK 1
Concebimos un movimiento diferente
Hablaremos del Modelo Cúbico construido a partir del Modelo Cuadrático. Retomaremos la situación real de movimiento en línea recta creando un movimiento en el que no hay cambio de sentido. Transitaremos al contexto real de llenado de tanques para dar significado a la función cúbica y a su derivada.

WEEK 2
Ecuaciones y funciones cúbicas
Retomaremos el contexto real del movimiento en línea recta para activar procesos algebraicos relacionados con la interpretación gráfica del movimiento. Consideraremos diferentes casos de ecuaciones cúbicas en las que podremos calcular sus soluciones con procedimientos algebraicos sencillos.

WEEK 3
La derivada cuadrática y la función cúbica
Hablaremos del contexto de llenado de tanques para apreciar las diferentes características gráficas que puede tener una función cúbica. Haremos énfasis en la obtención de la derivada y la antiderivada como procesos algebraicos. Utilizaremos la derivada para identificar máximos, mínimos y puntos de inflexión.

WEEK 4
Aplicaciones con cúbicas
Hablaremos de la aplicación conocida como la optimización de funciones considerando el Modelo Cúbico. Con ayuda de la tecnología, interpretaremos el efecto gráfico que se refleja al introducir un parámetro en la representación algebraica de ciertas funciones cúbicas.

Mathematics for Machine Learning: Multivariate Calculus (Coursera)

This course offers a brief introduction to the multivariate calculus required to build many common machine learning techniques. We start at the very beginning with a refresher on the “rise over run” formulation of a slope, before converting this to the formal definition of the gradient of a function. We then start to build up a set of tools for making calculus easier and faster. Next, we learn how to calculate vectors that point up hill on multidimensional surfaces and even put this into action using an interactive game.

Mathematics for Machine Learning: PCA (Coursera)

This intermediate-level course introduces the mathematical foundations to derive Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a fundamental dimensionality reduction technique. We'll cover some basic statistics of data sets, such as mean values and variances, we'll compute distances and angles between vectors using inner products and derive orthogonal projections of data onto lower-dimensional subspaces. Using all these tools, we'll then derive PCA as a method that minimizes the average squared reconstruction error between data points and their reconstruction.

Linear Regression and Modeling (Coursera)

This course introduces simple and multiple linear regression models. These models allow you to assess the relationship between variables in a data set and a continuous response variable. Is there a relationship between the physical attractiveness of a professor and their student evaluation scores? Can we predict the test score for a child based on certain characteristics of his or her mother? In this course, you will learn the fundamental theory behind linear regression and, through data examples, learn to fit, examine, and utilize regression models to examine relationships between multiple variables, using the free statistical software R and RStudio.

Single Variable Calculus (Coursera)

Calculus is one of the grandest achievements of human thought, explaining everything from planetary orbits to the optimal size of a city to the periodicity of a heartbeat. This brisk course covers the core ideas of single-variable Calculus with emphases on conceptual understanding and applications. The course is ideal for students beginning in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. Distinguishing features of the course include: 1) the introduction and use of Taylor series and approximations from the beginning; 2) a novel synthesis of discrete and continuous forms of Calculus; 3) an emphasis on the conceptual over the computational; and 4) a clear, dynamic, unified approach.
