Matemáticas para la U from edX

En este curso de 4 módulos, desarrollarás competencias básicas para el cálculo identificando elementos de diferentes sistemas numéricos, obtendrás habilidades en el manejo de las operaciones básicas, el manejo de signos y resolviendo problemas que involucran la solución de ecuaciones de primer grado. También identificarás elementos de diferentes sistemas numéricos y el manejo de las operaciones básicas y de signos, y resolverás problemas que involucran la solución de ecuaciones de primer grado.

Este curso, también te permitirá desarrollar competencias para resolver ejercicios y problemas que requieran exponentes o radicales para su modelización, es decir; para ser planteados, desarrollados y resueltos. Identificarás relaciones entre expresiones algebraicas, efectuar operaciones y reconocer situaciones que pueden ser resueltas con el uso del álgebra.

Adicionalmente, comprenderás el uso de las ecuaciones y las desigualdades para resolver problemas que requieren de estos planteamientos y podrás resolver ecuaciones con potencias superiores, expresiones fraccionarias y radicales, también desigualdades lineales y cuadráticas, todo esto aplicado en la solución de problemas.

Al finalizar, encontrarás facilidad para leer, interpretar y predecir el comportamiento de situaciones de la cotidianidad representadas mediante gráficas, tablas o ecuaciones de dependencia. Así mismo, tendrás habilidad para construir modelos funcionales a partir de observaciones para apoyar otras disciplinas.
