Geometría Analítica Preuniversitaria (Coursera)

Líneas rectas, círculos, parábolas, elipses e hipérbolas son figuras geométricas que encontramos en nuestro derredor. Por ejemplo, mucha gente sabe que los planetas en nuestro sistema solar se mueven en órbitas elípticas teniendo al astro rey en un foco de esta figura. Sin embargo, pocos saben que la plaza de San Pedro en el Vaticano está construída sobre elipses donde sus focos se encuentran sobre las fuentes donde mucha gente se toma fotos. Estos son dos ejemplos que muestran la importancia de las figuras geométricas en nuestra vida.

Después de este curso podrás reconocer fácilmente una línea recta, una parábola, una elipse, una circunferencia o una hipérbola a partir de una ecuación de segundo grado de dos variables. Además, sabrás manipular estas ecuaciones para escribirlas en su forma canónica y obtener así los elementos geométricos de cada curva. El punto de partida del curso es el concepto de función y sobre todo lo que representan los ceros (raíces) de una función de segundo grado de dos variables.
Un curso de este tipo es fascinante, ya que mientras muchas personas ven símbolos matemáticos, tu podrás ver una figura geométrica al reconocer una ecuación. Es parecido a una película de ciencia ficción de los años noventa, donde se veía gente haciendo sus actividades diarias, pero no eran más que símbolos verdes sobre una pantalla obscura. Solamente los que podían descifrar estos símbolos eran capaces de ver la realidad. Seguramente este curso te permitirá ver al mundo de otra manera.

Differential Equations for Engineers (Coursera)

This course is about differential equations and covers material that all engineers should know. Both basic theory and applications are taught. In the first five weeks we will learn about ordinary differential equations, and in the final week, partial differential equations. The course is composed of 56 short lecture videos, with a few simple problems to solve following each lecture. And after each substantial topic, there is a short practice quiz. Solutions to the problems and practice quizzes can be found in instructor-provided lecture notes. There are a total of six weeks in the course, and at the end of each week there is an assessed quiz.

Matrix Algebra for Engineers (Coursera)

This course is all about matrices, and concisely covers the linear algebra that an engineer should know. The mathematics in this course is presented at the level of an advanced high school student, but typically students should take this course after completing a university-level single variable calculus course. There are no derivatives or integrals in this course, but students are expected to have attained a sufficient level of mathematical maturity. Nevertheless, anyone who wants to learn the basics of matrix algebra is welcome to join.

Introduction to Complex Analysis (Coursera)

This course provides an introduction to complex analysis which is the theory of complex functions of a complex variable. We will start by introducing the complex plane, along with the algebra and geometry of complex numbers, and then we will make our way via differentiation, integration, complex dynamics, power series representation and Laurent series into territories at the edge of what is known today.
