El contexto real de llenado de tanques permitirá hacer una primera transferencia de significado y recapitularemos contenidos preuniversitarios relacionados con el Modelo Cuadrático.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Concibiendo un movimiento MUA
Retomaremos el Movimiento Rectilíneo Uniforme para con él concebir un movimiento en el que la velocidad varíe uniformemente. En esto la tecnología tendrá una participación decisiva. Podremos entonces hablar de un Movimiento Uniformemente Acelerado.c

WEEK 2
De un MUA transferimos a un CUA
Hablaremos nuevamente de la importante acción de transferencia cuando aprendemos Matemáticas. El conocimiento generado en el contexto real del movimiento en línea recta lo vamos a transferir a otros contextos reales con la intención de, posteriormente, generalizar al contexto matemático.

WEEK 3
Ecuaciones y funciones cuadráticas
Hablaremos de las ecuaciones cuadráticas y de la fórmula general para resolverlas. Ahí recordaremos nuestra clasificación de los números que resultan como solución. Vamos a dar significado a estas ecuaciones al relacionarlas con funciones cuadráticas que modelan matemáticamente una situación real.

WEEK 4
Función cuadrática y su derivada lineal
Hablaremos del Modelo Cuadrático desde la perspectiva del Cálculo, considerando su derivada. Con esto podremos retomar el tema de la parábola vertical y reconocer su utilidad para la identificación de puntos máximos y mínimos en una gráfica. Hablaremos de la construcción y optimización de funciones como aplicación de lo que hemos aprendido.

Calculus: Single Variable Part 2 - Differentiation (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.

Introduction to Mathematical Thinking (Coursera)

Learn how to think the way mathematicians do - a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself.

Image and video processing: From Mars to Hollywood with a stop at the hospital (Coursera)

In this course, you will learn the science behind how digital images and video are made, altered, stored, and used. We will look at the vast world of digital imaging, from how computers and digital cameras form images to how digital special effects are used in Hollywood movies to how the Mars Rover was able to send photographs across millions of miles of space.

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.

Differential Equations Part III Systems of Equations (Coursera)

This introductory courses on (Ordinary) Differential Equations are mainly for the people, who need differential equations mostly for the practical use in their own fields. So we try to provide basic terminologies, concepts, and methods of solving various types of differential equations as well as a rudimentary but indispensable knowledge of the underlying theory and some related applications.

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.

Calculus through Data & Modelling: Integration Applications (Coursera)

This course continues your study of calculus by focusing on the applications of integration. The applications in this section have many common features. First, each is an example of a quantity that is computed by evaluating a definite integral. Second, the formula for that application is derived from Riemann sums. Rather than measure rates of change as we did with differential calculus, the definite integral allows us to measure the accumulation of a quantity over some interval of input values.

Introduction à la théorie de Galois (Coursera) Coursera

Introduction à la théorie de Galois (Coursera)

Le cours expose la théorie de Galois, du classique critère de non-résolubilité des équations polynomiales aux méthodes plus avancées de calcul de groupes de Galois par réduction modulo un nombre premier. Le thème général de cette théorie est l'étude des racines d'un polynôme et concerne en particulier la possibilité de les exprimer à partir des coefficients de ce polynôme. Evariste Galois considère les symétries de ces racines et associe ainsi à ce polynôme un groupe de permutations de ses racines, que l'on appelle maintenant son groupe de Galois.
