Se propone la reinterpretación de los contenidos matemáticos relativos a Modelos con Radicales y Exponentes en términos de nociones y procesos del Cálculo Diferencial. Esto servirá como puente para el desarrollo de un pensamiento matemático avanzado con el que se trabajará en la Matemática Universitaria.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Reglas de derivación
Hablaremos de las Reglas del Producto, Cociente y Cadena para dar cabida al estudio de otros modelos matemáticos en cuya representación algebraica aparecen exponentes negativos y/o fraccionarios. Practicaremos con las Reglas y apreciaremos los aportes de tecnología especializada en este proceso.

WEEK 2
Práctica de derivación y comparamos con tecnología
Practicaremos con la derivación de funciones para revisar la importancia de ciertos procesos algebraicos cuando estudiamos Cálculo. Utilizaremos la tecnología especializada para comparar procesos y adquirir habilidades algebraicas y gráficas de una manera relacionada con el uso de tecnología.

WEEK 3
Consejos algebraicos sobre derivadas y gráficas clásicas
Hablaremos del proceso algebraico de cálculo de derivadas y de las complicaciones a que da lugar con el fin de minimizar dificultades seguiendo los consejos planteados. Hablaremos además de modelos matemáticos clásicos cuya gráfica se asocia con curvas clásicas como parábolas, círculos y elipses.

WEEK 4
Optimización
Retomaremos la aplicación de optimización de funciones considerando un contexto real en el que aparecen los nuevos modelos matemáticos. Hablaremos de estrategias de solución que utilizan las diferentes representaciones matemáticas: numérica, algebraica y gráfica.

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.
