Applied Mathematics
Mathematics at work: modeling, optimization, numerical methods, and financial and cryptographic math.
5 Topics
Cryptography Math
This topic covers the mathematical foundations of secure communication, including number theory, abstract algebra, and probability. Learners will understand how algorithms like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography secure data transmission and digital signatures.
Financial Mathematics
Financial mathematics applies mathematical modeling and quantitative methods to financial markets. Learners will understand how to price derivative securities, manage portfolio risk, and model asset price movements using stochastic calculus and interest rate theory.
Mathematical Modeling
Mathematical modeling is the process of translating real-world phenomena into mathematical equations to analyze and predict behaviors. Learners will understand how to formulate, solve, and validate models across physics, biology, and social sciences.
Numerical Methods
Numerical methods are algorithms used to obtain approximate numerical solutions to mathematical problems that lack analytical solutions. Learners will understand how to solve differential equations, find roots, and perform numerical integration using computers.
Optimization
Optimization is the study of finding the best solution to a problem given a set of constraints. Learners will understand how to formulate and solve linear, non-linear, and integer programming problems using various mathematical algorithms.
