Course Overview

Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions and Equations certification is the first amongst 2 courses that are prepared by the University of Padova in cooperation with FutureLearn. The main purpose of this programme is to provide students with introductory mathematical skills that are required for completing their first-ever course in calculus. The online category of courses that this particular one falls under is Science, maths, and Engineering.

With the Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions, and Equations certification syllabus, candidates are supposed to learn the fundamentals necessary for undergraduate or college students. The topics are all related to Mathematics which include sets and set operations, factoring and division, functions and graphs, reasoning and proofs, and also inequality.

Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions, and Equations training is online for a time of just 5 whole weeks where only 6 hours weekly classes will be taught. With this precalculus course, candidates will gain foundational skills for supporting mathematical studies so that it can be beneficial for using Maths in everyday life.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Just any candidate with or without a background in mathematics can apply to this Mathematics Certification Course.

Work Experience

No work experience in the mathematics or science fields shall be considered when admission has to be granted.

Certification Qualifying Details

The Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions and Equations certification by FutureLearn will be shared with all those who complete all the necessary course materials, submit assignments, and then receive feedback.

What you will learn

Mathematical skill

The different set of learnings that the candidates have are the following:

Candidates will be able to describe the elementary arithmetic of numbers, which shall include radicals, and absolute values.
Learners will learn to identify the standard notion related to various sets and its operations.
There are different elements of mathematical proofs, and reasoning which can be explained by these candidates.
Functions, and their graphs have different types that can be classified by the learners.
Candidates will be solving the polynomials: factoring, roots, and division.
Again the learners will learn about solving inequalities, and equations.

Who it is for

This course seems ideal for candidates like high school last year students or who are starting with their undergraduate studies wanting to take their very first calculus course. Again this calculus course can be taken up by people who have a demand for brushing up their basic mathematical skills.

Admission Details

The admission detailed procedure is explained with the help of steps here:

Step 1: Go to the Precalculus: the Mathematics of Numbers, Functions and Equations course webpage.

Step 2: The students are then taken to the homepage of the course where the button ‘Join the course for free’ must be found.

Step 3: As the button is found it must be clicked at once by the students so that they can take a step further towards registration.

Step 4: The clicking will take the candidates to a new page on the site where they can start making their new accounts.

Step 5: For direct admission, candidates will have to complete all the above steps correctly.

Application Details

Application form is something that is not necessary for taking admission which is concerned with this course. But there is one form that requires filling which is also known by the name of the registration form. The candidates only need this for completing the registration process on FutureLearn.
