Linear Algebra: Problems and Methods (Stepik)

Linear Algebra: Problems and Methods (Stepik)

The goal of the course is to explain the fundamental ideas of linear algebra and how to use them to find easy solutions of hard problems.

The goal of this course is to help you to find and understand the building blocks of linear algebra. Moreover, it is important to develop personal vision and intuition about them. This cannot be achieved by solving 1000 similar typical exam problems.

In this course you will be provided with a sort of "minimal linear algebra kit", so that you can manage the saved time yourself. In particular, you are encouraged to discuss the lessons here at stepic, to participate in competitions and other events at your campus, and to surf web resources such as math.stackexchange.com, mathoverflow.net, arxiv.org and of course Wikipedia. If you are enrolled in a traditional course of linear algebra, you will benefit from this course too, since it is not designed to substitute the traditional courses.

Jugar y Aprender Matemática en aulas heterogéneas (Coursera)

Cuando se asume la enseñanza de la matemática con el compromiso de la participación de todos los alumnos en una comunidad de producción, en la que se resuelven problemas con distintos procedimientos, se comparan producciones, se analiza la validez de las afirmaciones que se hacen, la tarea resulta todo un desafío. En el caso del plurigrado, el desafío parece aún mayor. ¿Cómo presentar problemas que involucren en este trabajo reflexivo a niños y niñas de distintas edades y con distintos conocimientos?

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.

Aléatoire : une introduction aux probabilités - Partie 1 (Coursera)

Ce cours d'introduction aux probabilités a la même contenu que le cours de tronc commun de première année de l'École polytechnique donné par Sylvie Méléard. Le cours introduit graduellement la notion de variable aléatoire et culmine avec la loi des grands nombres et le théorème de la limite centrale. Les notions mathématiques nécessaires sont introduites au fil du cours et de nombreux exercices corrigés sont proposés.
