Mathematics underpins every aspect of computing, from algorithms and artificial intelligence to data analysis and cryptography. Applied Mathematical Methods for Computing equips you with essential tools in algebra, vectors, matrices, sequences, series, combinatorics, probability, and statistics. These methods provide the structure and reasoning needed to solve complex computational problems. Across four modules, you’ll explore advanced techniques, practise solving real-world examples, and build the confidence to apply mathematics in programming, algorithms, and data science. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive toolkit for modelling systems, analysing uncertainty, and reasoning rigorously about computational tasks. Whether you’re preparing for advanced studies in computer science or strengthening your foundations for professional roles, this course offers the mathematical depth you need to succeed.

In this module, we will introduce algebra, vectors and matrices. This week, we will introduce vectors and vector spaces and look at how to perform basic operations with vectors. We will then introduce linear transformations and their representation via matrices. We will use matrices to describe and capture geometrical transformations (rotations, contractions, shear and projections). We will use a trick (using an extra dimension) to deal with translations.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
