Overview
Calculus is about the behaviour of certain variables under certain conditions. In very complex systems, different variables interact with each other, making it necessary to analyse multi-variable functions and partial differential equations. Furthermore, these functions and equations become complex to the point that we need computers to solve them for us, both symbolically and numerically.
Learning highlights
- This course gives a broader understanding of calculus, including topics like continuous optimisation, multivariate calculus, differential equations, and some numerical algorithms. After the course, the student will be ready to apply the knowledge in fields like probability theory, physics simulation, and machine learning.

Prerequisites
Basic Python programming skills are recommended (loops, lists, and functions) because there will be some programming assignments.
Linear Algebra 1 is a plus.
Methodology
The course is very intense, but it will adapt to the flow of the students. It consists of theory and practice. In-class participation is highly encouraged.
Grading
Anier started in computer science by doing programming Olympiads in high school, during which he obtained a gold medal in the Cuban National Olympiad and a bronze medal in the Ibero-American Olympiad in Informatics.
He has a BSc. in Computer Science and Data Science from Harbour.Space University. His main professional interest is Machine Learning Theory Research, and he’s an independent researcher.

FAQ
Will I receive a certificate after completion?
Yes. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate signed by the director of the program your course belonged to.
Do I need a visa?
This depends on your case. Please check with the Spanish or Thai consulate in your country of residence about visa requirements. We will do our part to provide you with the necessary documents, such as the Certificate of Enrollment.
Can I get a discount?
Yes. The easiest way to enroll in a course at a discounted price is to register for multiple courses. Registering for multiple courses will reduce the cost per individual course. Please ask the Admissions Office for more information about the other kinds of discounts we offer and what you can do to receive one.
