Linear Algebra

Data Visualization - Turn Numbers Into Narratives: In a world flooded with data, visualizations cut through the noise to reveal meaning. This course teaches you to collect, organize, interpret, and effectively communicate massive amounts of information. You’ll master data wrangling in spreadsheets, harness the power of charts, and learn to spot both effective and misleading visuals. Using principles from information graphics, visual art, graphic design, and cognitive science, you’ll create your own compelling visualizations using tools like Datawrapper, Tableau Public, and Python.

Problem Solving with Engineering & Design - Think Like an Engineer: Dive into the exciting intersection of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by tackling meaningful, real-world challenges. In this project-based course, you’ll develop essential engineering skills like design principles, modeling, and presentation techniques while leveraging a variety of computer hardware and software tools. Collaborating in teams, you’ll design prototypes and explore practical applications of science and math to address issues in your home, community, and beyond.

Number Theory - Discover the Math Running Digital Security: Once considered the most abstract and least practical area of mathematics, number theory is now essential to our everyday digital world: every second, millions of secure internet transmissions rely on number theory for encryption. In this course, you’ll explore the world of mathematical reasoning and proof, learning the tools needed to understand the RSA algorithm—the backbone of global internet security. You’ll also invent your own encryption schemes and encounter games that use number theory. Alongside practical applications, you’ll get a taste of the rich history of this subject, from legendary mathematicians to the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem (a famous problem solved just 20 years ago after 350 years of effort).
