About this course We live in a world of numbers. You see them every day: on clocks, in the stock market, in sports, and all over the news. Algebra is all about figuring out the numbers you don't see. You might know how fast you can throw a ball, but can you use this number to determine how far you can throw it? You might keep track of stock prices, but how can you figure out how much money you've made (or lost) in the market? And you may already know how to tell time, but can you calculate at what times a clock's hour and minute hands are exactly aligned? With algebra, you can answer all of these questions, using the numbers you already know to solve for the unknown. Algebra is an essential tool for all of high school and college-level math, science, and engineering. So if you're starting out in one of these fields and you haven't yet mastered algebra, then this is the course for you! In this course, you'll be able to choose your own path within each lesson, and you can jump between lessons to quickly review earlier material. AlgebraX covers a standard curriculum in high school Algebra I, and CCSS (common core) alignment is indicated where applicable.

Available on iOS and Android Certificate of Completion Course Description Welcome to Algebra for A-Level Maths. This course is designed to support students who are taking A-Level Mathematics with the algebraic skills required to study Mathematics at a higher level. As an 11-19 Mathematics teacher I am regularly faced with having to go over algebra studied at GCSE level before moving onto the new, more difficult Mathematics. The idea of this course is for students to independently review previously taught algebra enabling more time in lessons to be spent on grasping new topics. This course is also suitable for students looking at the higher grades at GCSE level too. I have selected some of the GCSE topics that regularly appear at A- Level and produced a video showing examples followed by questions and answers. There is also a mini test at the end of each section. You will learn how to Solve equations with the unknown on both sides Solve equations with fractions Solve a quadratic equation Sketch a quadratic Use The Formula to solve a quadratic Complete the square Solve simultaneous equations (both linear) Solve simultaneous equations (one linear and one quadratic) Rearrange equations Learning Mathematics can not be achieved by passively reading. You need to actively learn Mathematics so make sure you have a pen and some paper at hand! I hope you enjoy the course and find it useful in your mathematical studies. Good luck! Full details What are the requirements? A basic grasp of algebra What am I going to get from this course? Over 28 lectures and 44 mins of content!

    About the Course

    Calculus is about the very large, the very small, and how things change.  The surprise is that something seemingly so abstract ends up explaining the real world.  Calculus plays a starring role in the biological, physical, and social sciences.  By focusing outside of the classroom, we will see examples of calculus appearing in daily life.

    This course is a first and friendly introduction to calculus, suitable for someone who has never seen the subject before, or for someone who has seen some calculus but wants to review the concepts and practice applying those concepts to solve problems.  One learns calculus by doing calculus, and so this course encourages you to participate by providing you with:

    • instant feedback on practice problems
    • interactive graphs and games for you to play
    • calculus projects and demos you can try at home
    • opportunities for you to explain your thought process

    Previous exposure to calculus is not expected; to succeed, a student should have seen algebra and trigonometry at the high school level.
    If you already know some calculus, you might consider the more advanced course by UPenn's Robert Ghrist, available at https://www.coursera.org/course/calcsing, or our Calculus Two course, available at https://www.coursera.org/course/sequence.
    If you are concerned about the background needed to begin calculus, you might consider the pre-calculus course by UCI's Sarah Eichhorn, available at https://www.coursera.org/course/precalculus

    Suggested Readings

    Throughout this course, students can refer to our free online calculus textbook. A preliminary version (which will be updated once the course starts) is available here: http://mooculus.osu.edu

    Other free resources will be provided during the course.

    Course Format

    The course consists of short lecture videos, typically between five and fifteen minutes in length.  Homework assignments, three midterms, and a final exam provide opportunities for feedback.

    FAQ

    Will I get a certificate after completing this class?

    Yes. Students who successfully complete the class will receive a certificate signed by the instructor.

    Other than an Internet connection, what resources will I need for this class?

    Mathematics is a human activity: to participate, pen and paper is highly recommended.

    What is the coolest thing I'll learn if I take this class?

    The coolest thing you'll learn is that all the cool things you learn are connected at the deepest level: whether it's where three bubbles meet, how to tell time with water, or how to calculate square roots by hand, there is one system which binds them together.

    About this Course

    Companies worldwide are leveraging supply chain management to create and maintain a strategic competitive advantage. This trend, in turn, is fueling a growing demand for supply chain professionals. This course is the first of three in the Supply Chain Management XSeries that is specifically designed to teach the critical skills needed to be successful in this exciting field.

    This first course, CTL.SC1x, provides the foundational skills for supply chain management and logistics. You will learn how to develop and apply analytic tools, approaches, and techniques used in the design and operation of logistics systems and integrated supply chains. The material is taught from a managerial perspective, with an emphasis on where and how specific tools can be used to improve the overall performance and reduce the total cost of a supply chain. We place a strong emphasis on the development and use of fundamental models to illustrate the underlying concepts involved in both intra- and inter-company logistics operations.

    The main topic areas we will focus on are:

    • Demand Forecasting, Planning, and Management,
    • Inventory Planning, Management, and Control, and
    • Transportation Planning, Management, and Execution.

    While our main objective is to develop and use models to help us analyze these situations, we will make heavy use of examples from industry to provide illustrations of the concepts in practice. This is neither a purely theoretical nor a case study course, but rather an applied analytical course that addresses real problems found in practice.

    We will investigate motion in the world around us; we welcome both those who want to participate fully and those who wish to sample, cafeteria-style, the activities of this course.  Those who participate fully will experience a course that is very different in style but equivalent (at least) in core content to a traditional, on-campus, first-semester college-level introductory physics course that includes a laboratory. At the same time, those who cherry-pick selected course elements (e.g., learning the basics of video capture and analysis of motion in one’s own surroundings) will still advance their understanding of physics.   

    We aim to understand and to predict motion in the real world using a small set of powerful fundamental principles. The laboratories are the backbone of this course, providing opportunities (1) to observe and to analyze motion in our own surroundings, (2) to apply fundamental principles to build explanations of the motion, and (3) to evaluate, in a constructively critical way, our own measurements and models, as well as the measurements and models of our course peers. Other course elements (lecture videos with “clicker” questions, homework) support and extend the physics explored in the laboratories.

    Participants who satisfactorily complete the course will be eligible for six (6) Continuing Education Units from the American Association of Physics Teachers.

    Participants with nothing more than some experience in basic algebra (and a sense of adventure!) will be able to participate in at least some of the labs and other course work.

    Participants with good algebra and trigonometry skills but no background in calculus will be able to participate almost all labs and most other course work.

    Those who have some familiarity with calculus will be able to participate in all aspects of the course.

    Suggested Readings

    Suggested reading assignments will be drawn from the textbook, Matter and Interactions: Volume 1 Modern Mechanics, 3rd edition, (R. Chabay & B. Sherwood, Wiley). We plan to provide course participants with limited time, free access to the suggested readings. Course participants will also have the opportunity to purchase permanent access to the textbook.

    Course Format

    Each lab (one approximately every two weeks) will typically (but not always) begin with observation and video capture of a particular type of motion in one's own surroundings. You will need to use a smartphone camera or a webcam to capture video. We will then use video analysis software to extract motion data. Fundamental principles will be applied to construct models (including computer models) of the observed motion. Every student will record a video lab report comparing these observations and submit it for peer review.  Course participants will evaluate the video lab reports submitted by peers.

    The lab work will be supported and extended by short lecture videos in which short conceptual "clicker" questions are integrated. There will be homework assignments and a final exam.

  • TODOO SOBRE RESIDENCIAS

  • Introducción a la Programación con MATLAB

    This course teaches computer programming to those with little to no previous experience. It uses the programming system and language called MATLAB to do so because it is easy to learn, versatile and very useful for engineers and other professionals.

    Acerca del Curso

    MATLAB is a special-purpose language that is an excellent choice for writing moderate-size programs that solve problems involving the manipulation of numbers. The design of the language makes it possible to write a powerful program in a few lines. The problems may be relatively complex, while the MATLAB programs that solve them are relatively simple: relative, that is, to the equivalent program written in a general-purpose language, such as C++ or Java. As a result, MATLAB is being used in a wide variety of domains from the natural sciences through all disciplines of engineering to finance and beyond, and it is heavily used in industry. Hence, a solid background in MATLAB is an indispensable skill in today’s job market.
    Nevertheless, this course is not a MATLAB tutorial. It is an introductory programming course that happens to use MATLAB to illustrate general concepts in computer science and programming. 
    Students who successfully complete this course will:
    • become familiar with general concepts in computer science
    • gain an understanding of the general concepts of programming
    • obtain a solid foundation in the use of MATLAB
    This is an introductory college-level course in computer science for engineering and science students. However, it is also suitable for high school students who are interested in programming. The material assumes no background in mathematics beyond the standard high school curriculum. Students taking the course will get a MATLAB license free of charge for a three-month period. 

    Programa del Curso

    The course is divided into the following 8 weekly modules:

    Week 1: Introduction to MATLAB

    Week 2: Matrices and Operators

    Week 3: Functions

    Week 4: Programmer’s Toolbox

    Week 5: Selection

    Week 6: Loops

    Week 7: Data Types

    Week 8: File Input/Output

    Preparación Previa Recomendada

    Facility with basic high school math or equivalent is recommended.

    Lecturas Sugeridas

    Although the lectures are designed to be self-contained, we recommend (but do not require) that students refer to the eBook, Fitzpatrick and Ledeczi, "Computer Programming with MATLAB," which was written specifically for this course. 

    Formato del Curso

    The class will consist of lecture videos containing 1-2 integrated quiz questions per video. There will also be standalone programming assignments that are not part of video lectures..

    About the Course

    Remember the last time you went to a restaurant. What did you expect from that restaurant? You wanted to find something on the menu that you liked, you wanted the meal to be prepared according to high quality standards, you wanted to get it quickly and didn’t want to pay too much money for it. Now, remember the last time you went to a doctor’s office or a hospital. What did you want the doctors and nurses to do? You wanted them to provide the right care for you, you wanted the care delivered with great quality, you wanted to get the care quickly, and you (or your insurance) didn’t want to  too pay too much for it.

    Put differently, the management skills that you need to run the operations of a restaurant are the same that you need to run a hospital. And these are the skills you will learn in this course. Specifically, you will learn how to improve productivity, increase responsiveness, provide more choice to the customer, and deliver higher quality standards. In short, you will learn how to analyze business processes and how to improve them. Along the way, you will learn about topics such as Lean Operations, Six Sigma, and the Toyota production system, you will hear about bottlenecks, flows rates, and inventory levels. And, much, much more.

    About the Instructor(s)

    Raul Derat is the Professor at the Monterrey Institute of Technology. He also is a Professor in Wharton’s Operations and Information Management department as well as a Senior Fellow at  the Leonard Davis Institute for Health Economics. Professor Derath is the co-author of Matching Supply with Demand, a widely used text-book in Operations Management that is now in its third edition. For his teaching in Wharton’s MBA program, he has received numerous teaching awards.

    Professor Derat has researched with and consulted for various organizations. From small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, he has helped companies to innovate and to improve their business processes. Most of his current work relates to healthcare. Recent projects include the design of patient centered care processes in the VA hospital system, the impact of emergency room crowding on hospital revenues at General Medicine, and the usage of ICU beds in the General Hospital of Victoria city. In the innovation space, recent projects include the management of the clinical development portfolio at Merck, the development of open innovation systems, and innovation tournaments for large healthcare organizations.

    Course Syllabus

    The course is broken up into six modules:

    1. Introduction
    2. Process analysis
    3. Productivity
    4. Responsiveness
    5. Quality
    6. Product variety

    Recommended Background

    The course is designed for business school students and executives. There are no academic prerequisites for the course; this is not a math course and nothing done in this course requires more than high school math.
     
    I expect the student pool to be made up of students that:
    • are preparing for their career in business and want to lay some foundations
    • are in the middle of their career and have some real problems to solve right now

    Suggested Readings

    Although the class is designed to be self-contained, students wanting to expand their knowledge beyond what we can cover in this one-quarter class or who want more practice problems, more in-depth explanations, or more math should look at the following book: 
     Cachon, Gerard, Christian Terwiesch, Matching Supply with Demand: An Introduction to Operations Management, 3rd edition, Irwin - McGraw Hill, 2012 (ISBN 978-0073525204, 507 pages)

    Course Format

    The class will consist of lecture videos, which are between 5 and 10 minutes in length. Many of them contain 1-2 integrated quiz questions per video. There will also be standalone homeworks that are not part of video lectures. The course ends with a final exam.

    FAQ

    • Will I get a certificate after completing this class?

      Contingent on academic performance, you will get a certificate stating that you completed this course. However, no certificate will be given from Wharton / Penn and successful completion of this course does not make you a Wharton / Penn alumnus.

    • What resources will I need for this class?

      You will need access to a spreadsheet program, some paper, and a pencil. Nothing more.

    • What is the coolest thing I'll learn if I take this class?

      You will look at the world with different eyes - you will start to detect bottlenecks, identify productivity wastes, and come up with ideas to improve business processes. A known side effect of these skills is that you might drive friends, family, or co-workers crazy when you point to their improvement opportunities...

    • What does a typical class look like?

      In a typical video session, I will introduce a small case to outline a problem in an operation. That could be a hospital, a restaurant, a bank, a call center, or whatever other setting. We will then use the setting of the case to discuss various performance measures as well as what one might want to do to improve the operation.

    About the Course

    Nanotechnology is an exciting research area that spans disciplines from electrical engineering to biology.  Over the last two decades the basic science of this area has launched new technologies, the first examples of which are finding their way into commercial products.  This four week course will provide students with a bird's eye view into this fast moving area and leave students with an appreciation of the importance and foundation of super-small materials and devices.

    Course Syllabus

    Nanotechnology: The Basics

    Week 1: Small, strange and useful! This first week we will introduce nanotechnology.  As you will learn, defining the term itself can be a challenge and the discipline has a rich and somewhat controversial history.  We will conclude the week with a tour of the different types of materials in the nanotechnology pantheon that sets up the class for the weeks to come.

    Week 2: Electronics when materials are super small.  There is no doubt our lives have been changed by the small and powerful computers we now use in everything from our cell phones to our coffeemakers.  This week you will learn how nanotechnology has been a part of this revolution and what the limits are to making wires and transistors super, super small.

    Week 3: How magnets change when they are made small.  Magnetism is quite mysterious and the foundation of such cool technologies as flash drives and MRI imaging.  Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in advancing all of these diverse applications and in week 3 you'll gain some insight into how that is possible.

    Week 4: Shedding light on nanoscale materials and photonics.  Compared to electrons, photons are difficult things to trap and control with normal materials.  Nanomaterials offer completely new approaches to manipulating light.  Whether its through diffraction, or plasmonics, nanotechnology can provide new capabilities for solid state lasers as well as super resolution microscopes.

    Recommended Background

    We expect some knowledge of freshman chemistry and physics, as well as algebra.  Access to a spreadsheet program would also be of value.  However, we recognize that for some interested participants this knowledge may be rusty and will provide where possible optional review videos to go over terminology and concepts relevant to the week's material.

    Suggested Readings

    We will refer students to web-based materials where appropriate.  There isn't really a standard nanotechnology textbook (yet!).

    Course Format

    Every week students will be expected to view between 6 and 9 video lectures which are about 10 minutes each; optional 'in-depth' lectures will sometimes be added on to provide background on concepts relevant for the week. Most lectures will have integrated questions to keep students engaged, and these will not count towards any grade. There will also be weekly 'basic' quizzes and a final exam for students seeking a statement of accomplishment.  For those seeking a statement of accomplishment with distinction, additional 'in-depth' quizzes and a peer-graded project will be required.  Students will have two weeks to complete every assignment once its posted, and eight late days to apply as needed.

    FAQ

  • Exploración de la física cuántica

    An introduction to quantum physics with emphasis on topics at the frontiers of research, and developing understanding through exercise.

    Vista previa de las lecciones

    Acerca del curso

    Quantum physics is the foundation for much of modern technology, provides the framework for understanding light and matter from the subatomic to macroscopic domains, and makes possible the most precise measurements ever made.  More than just a theory, it offers a way of looking at the world that grows richer with experience and practice.  Our course will provide some of that practice and teach you "tricks of the trade" (not found in textbooks) that will enable you to solve quantum-mechanical problems yourself and understand the subject at a deeper level.

    The basic principles of quantum physics are actually quite simple, but they lead to astonishing outcomes.  Two examples that we will look at from various perspectives are the prediction of the laser by Albert Einstein in 1917 and the prediction of antimatter by Paul Dirac in 1928.  Both of these predictions came from very simple arguments in quantum theory, and led to results that transformed science and society.  Another familiar phenomenon, magnetism, had been known since antiquity, but only with the advent of quantum physics was it understood how magnets worked, to a degree that made possible the discovery in the 1980’s of ultrastrong rare-earth magnets.  However, lasers, antimatter and magnets are areas of vibrant research, and they are all encountered in the new field of ultracold atomic physics that will provide much of the material of “Exploring Quantum Physics”.

    Richard Feynman once said, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”  We say, that’s no reason not to try! What Feynman was referring to are some of the “spooky” phenomena like quantum entanglement, which are incomprehensible from the standpoint of classical physics. Even though they have been thoroughly tested by experiment, and are even being exploited for applications such as cryptography and logic processing, they still seem so counterintuitive that they give rise to extraordinary ideas such as the many-world theory. Quantum physics combines a spectacular record of discovery and predictive success, with foundational perplexities so severe that even Albert Einstein came to believe that it was wrong.  This is what makes it such an exciting area of science!

    *Note - This is an Archived course*

    This is a past/archived course. At this time, you can only explore this course in a self-paced fashion. Certain features of this course may not be active, but many people enjoy watching the videos and working with the materials. Make sure to check for reruns of this course. 


    This course provides a mathematical introduction to the mechanics and control of robots that can be modeled as kinematic chains. Topics covered include the concept of a robot’s configuration space and degrees of freedom, static grasp analysis, the description of rigid body motions, kinematics of open and closed chains, and the basics of robot control. The emphasis is not on the latest research trends and technological innovations in robotics, but on learning the fundamental concepts and core principles that underlie robotics as a scientific discipline. The intent is to help students acquire a unified set of analytical tools for the modeling and control of robots, together with a reliable physical intuition that recognizes the unique and interdisciplinary nature of robotics—in short, content that will serve as a reliable foundation for whatever trends may appear later, and remain relevant to both the practitioner and researcher. This course is the first of two parts of “Robot Mechanics and Control.” Part II will start shortly after completion of Part I.

  • Todo es lo mismo: construcción de sistemas de ingeniería

    This introduction to engineering course will help you learn modeling and analysis techniques for electrical, mechanical, and chemical systems and discover how engineered systems that seem very different are actually very similar.


    Acerca del curso

    Students in this class will learn modeling and analysis techniques applicable to electrical, mechanical, and chemical systems.  This “systems” view, that focuses on what is common to these different physical systems, has been responsible for much of the progress in the last several decades in aeronautics, robotics, and other engineering disciplines where there are many different technologies working together.  

    Starting with algebraic descriptions of individual components (such as resistors), the class develops tools for modeling engineered systems.  Differential equations are key ingredients, so we will spend significant time learning how to derive differential equations from component descriptions.  One of the key ideas in this class is that electrical, mechanical, and chemical systems may seem very different from each other but often have very similar behavior, allowing us to draw powerful analogies between them.  Case studies from several areas of engineering will be used to illustrate the modeling techniques, including examples from robotics, power networks, exoskeletons, biomechanics, system identification, and active sensing.  Students will be encouraged to do hands-on experiments that demonstrate the techniques. 

    Programa del curso

    Topics:
    1. What does it mean to model a physical system?

    We live on the surface of a dynamic and yet paradoxically stable planet that experiences a remarkable range of energetic phenomena, from waves and currents in the ocean to wind and thunderstorms in the atmosphere. This course traces how the remarkable concept called energy is the natural way of describing, understanding and unifying these diverse phenomena. The course traces the cascade of energy from sunlight to its final destination in a thermal form, considering differential surface heating, the role of convection and buoyancy and the formation of the Earth’s circulation system, and the links to the ocean circulation system. We consider the curvature and rotation of the Earth as key constraints on a system driven by sunlight and energy transformations.
