Course reviews elementary algebra concepts, with applications in linear systems, matrices and optimization, along with topics in finite mathematics such as finance, probability, Markov chains and game theory.
Summary
Finite mathematics has many real-world applications and is used in business, economics, social sciences, biology and more. This course begins with a review of some elementary algebra concepts, which are then applied to linear systems, matrices and optimization. The second half of the course provides an introduction to additional topics, such as the mathematics of finance, probability, Markov chains and game theory. Use this course to master topics commonly found in college finite mathematics courses.
