Math 2 for Nanobiologists

In this course you will learn the basics of linear algebra. In linear algebra you will study high-dimensional mathematics, in particular involving vectors and matrices. This course focuses on properties of systems of linear equations, linear transformations, linear subspaces and dimensions and determinants.

In the second part of this course we continue the study of calculus with a focus on 2 and 3 dimensions. In particular we will start with some topics in high-dimensional differentiation (directional derivatives, implicit differentiation, Taylor polynomials, curvature). Subsequently we will consider integrals over 2 and 3 dimensional domains (including in polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates).
