Course Overview

This certificate course on Calculus Applied!  offered by HarvardX is created to apply the tools in single variable calculus theory for creating and analyzing mathematical models used in real-life sciences as well as physical and social sciences. The course goes beyond the scope of textbook knowledge and calculus where it works with the practitioners in all the required sciences for understanding how mathematical and calculus models work in those areas. The course is instructed by real practitioners who will help the candidate explore the concepts in a very hands-on manner. 

The Calculus Applied certification course acts as a unique addition to the area of calculus training mentoring concepts of integrals, derivatives, differential equations, and mathematical models with their applications and provides inferences. The course requires the candidate to be familiar with calculus concepts and learn about their applications rather than the theory. The Calculus Applied course offered has a three-person faculty preparation for the curriculum. The course in the audit mode is self-paced but only provides a limited period of access whereas the candidates during the verified mode will be able to learn the course in an unlimited time frame.
