鈥淲elcome to Introduction to Numerical Mathematics. This is designed to give you part of the mathematical foundations needed to work in computer science in any of its strands, from business to visual digital arts, music, games. At any stage of the problem solving and modelling stage you will require numerical and computational tools. We get you started in binary and other number bases, some tools to make sense of sequences of numbers, how to represent space numerical using coordinates, how to study variations of quantities via functions and their graphs. For this we prepared computing and everyday life problems for you to solve using these tools, from sending secret messages to designing computer graphics. If you wish to take it further you can join the BSc Computer Science degree and complete the full module 鈥楴umerical Mathematics鈥�. Enjoy!鈥�

Thanks a lot for the nice course, there is comprehensive and laconic explanation especially for modular arithmetic. Before I had some problems with it.

Sara Santos is a very enthusiastic teacher. I enjoyed learning some principles of mathematics from her. Thank you for this course, ma'am.
From the lesson
Sequences and series - continued
In this topic, we will cover the key concepts of sequences, series and the principle of mathematical induction. We will understand what a sequence is and look at its convergence and divergence. We will also introduce the concept of series.
