Introduction to Position Velocity and Acceleration This is the second course in a series on basic physics. This course covers the vector quantities of position, velocity, and acceleration. It also introduces some of the concepts from calculus, namely the derivative and integral, that are used in the definition of these quantities. The emphasis is on the definition and measurement of these quantities.  more...

Differential Calculus for Measurement This is the second in a series of five courses on the calculus. The courses in this series are: MATH119 - Functions, Limits, and Continuity MATH120 - Differential Calculus for Measurement (this course) MATH121 - Sequences, Limits, and Series MATH122 - Integral Calculus for Measurement MATH123 - Series, Approximation, and Sensitivity  more...

Least Squares Line Fits This course covers the topic of finding a "best fit" line through a set of data. This course assumes some basic understanding of uncertainty analysis, differential calculus, and statistics. The calculus required is minimal, primarily the concept of derivative and finding the minimum of a function.  more...

Introduction to Differential Equations This is the first in a series of short courses on differential equations. The purpose of this course is to introduce some of the concepts and terminology associated with differential equations.  more...
