Section 1

CRN 25129

Begin Registration
The course covers topics in real analysis, linear algebra, and integral calculus, chosen for their relevance to computer science, probability, statistics, and data science. We cover the foundations of probability, integration, vector spaces, and matrix decompositions. Application to statistical and optimization problems is included, as well as an introduction to mathematical tools in the R programming language. Students may not take both MATH E-23c and MATH E-23b for degree or certificate credit.
