Syllabus

WEEK 1
Conceptos previos
En este módulo se presentarán las nociones básicas y se comenzará la construcción de la representación tabular y gráfica de la información estadística utilizando un ejemplo sencillo que implica la sistematización de datos numéricos y no numéricos dentro de un contexto.

WEEK 2
Obtención, descripción e interpretación de información estadística
En este módulo se inducirán los procedimientos para construir las medidas estadísticas a través de un ejemplo dentro de un contexto.

WEEK 3
Obtención e interpretación de información estadística con datos bivariados
En el siguiente módulo se trabajará inicialmente con dos variables numéricas para afianzar los conceptos y aplicaciones correspondientes a los temas de regresión lineal y correlación. Posteriormente se explorarán las representaciones e interpretaciones propias del trabajo con variables cualitativas.

WEEK 4
Azar: modelación y toma de decisiones
En el siguiente módulo se explorarán los primeros conceptos de probabilidad a partir de un ejemplo sencillo y se utilizarán las tablas de doble entrada para construir las primeras definiciones e inducir el comportamiento de eventos simples y compuestos de un espacio muestral.

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.

The Finite Element Method for Problems in Physics (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern, open-source environment that can be expanded to other applications, subsequently.

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.

Princeton University

Analytic Combinatorics (Coursera)

Analytic Combinatorics teaches a calculus that enables precise quantitative predictions of large combinatorial structures. This course introduces the symbolic method to derive functional relations among ordinary, exponential, and multivariate generating functions, and methods in complex analysis for deriving accurate asymptotics from the GF equations. All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion.

Math for MBA and GMAT Prep (Coursera)

This course gives participants a basic understanding of statistics as they apply in business situations. A fair share of students considering MBA programs come from backgrounds that do not include a large amount of training in mathematics and statistics. Often, students find themselves at a disadvantage when they apply for or enroll in MBA programs. This course will give you the tools to understand how these business statistics are calculated for navigating the built-in formulas that are included in Excel, but also how to apply these formulas in an range of business settings and situations.

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.

Improving Your Statistical Questions (Coursera)

This course aims to help you to ask better statistical questions when performing empirical research. We will discuss how to design informative studies, both when your predictions are correct, as when your predictions are wrong. We will question norms, and reflect on how we can improve research practices to ask more interesting questions.

Probability and Statistics: To p or not to p? (Coursera)

We live in an uncertain and complex world, yet we continually have to make decisions in the present with uncertain future outcomes. Indeed, we should be on the look-out for "black swans" - low-probability high-impact events. To study, or not to study? To invest, or not to invest? To marry, or not to marry?

Basic Statistics (Coursera)

Understanding statistics is essential to understand research in the social and behavioral sciences. In this course you will learn the basics of statistics; not just how to calculate them, but also how to evaluate them. This course will also prepare you for the next course in the specialization - the course Inferential Statistics. In the first part of the course we will discuss methods of descriptive statistics. You will learn what cases and variables are and how you can compute measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and dispersion (standard deviation and variance). Next, we discuss how to assess relationships between variables, and we introduce the concepts correlation and regression.

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.
