The “Introduction to University Mathematics” Series (Offered by GEC)

The “Introduction to University Mathematics” Series allows students to learn mathematics and its concepts from the ground up, without assuming knowledge of high school mathematics. It offers beginner-level α (interest and optimization), intermediate-level β (interest and optimization) as well as advanced-level γ (calculus and linear algebra). LA (Learning Assistant) is also available to help students in correcting answers, answering questions etc., so even those who have avoided mathematics up to now can take the course with ease.

Furthermore, “mathematical structure” used in economics and other courses related to mathematics are offered as well. For more information, please refer to the link of the GEC website below.

All courses in this program are offered in full on-demand format, and can be taken anywhere at any time.
In this program, students cannot only learn the “theories” of data science that are necessary in every field of study, but also the “skills” to handle and analyze data in the real world at the same time. On top of that, students can learn approaches that tie in these new skills and knowledge with their knowledge in their areas of expertise.
