Applied Mathematics for Programmers (CSTP 1150)
Students learn the mathematical foundation for technical and programming courses. It covers linear equations, polynomials, periodic, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Students learn to solve linear equations and create graphs for functions. They learn how to represent multi-dimensional data using vectors and matrices, lines, planes and hyperplanes. The course also introduces calculus, probability and statistics which are essential for understanding machine learning (ML) algorithms. Finally, the course also teaches basic logic and reasoning, as well as binary data representation in computers.
