数学与自然科学
数学之旅 A Tour of Mathematics
匡世珉 | Columbia University
This course will try to introduce several main branches of (cool) mathematics. What is mathematics? Why is mathematics important? What are we talking about when we talk about number theory, calculus/analysis, linear algebra, abstract algebra…? Why do we need them? What are their applications? These are some of the questions we will be tackling in this course. No college-level math background is needed for this course.
