Catalog

Prerequisite: Enrollment in or completion of MATH 005A or MATH 005AH or MATH 006A. Practical approach to modeling the world around us using scientific programming with Python, that deepens the understanding of mathematical concepts in Calculus I, including rates of change, integration, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Utilization of Jupyter Notebook in Google Colab and Python scientific libraries for numerical computation, graphic representation, experimentation, and problem-solving. Introduction to the modeling process in hands-on labs with theoretical exercises and real-world applications from a wide range of disciplines, including life sciences, social science, economy, AI, and STEM fields. The course is intended for students currently enrolled in first-semester calculus but is open to all students. Total of 54 hours laboratory. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC credit under review.
