About the Course

After completing this course, students will learn how to successfully apply functions to model different data and real world occurrences. This course reviews the concept of a function and then provide multiple examples of common and uncommon types of functions used in a variety of disciplines. Formulas, domains, ranges, graphs, intercepts, and fundamental behavior are all analyzed using both algebraic and analytic techniques. From this core set of functions, new functions are created by arithmetic operations and function composition. These functions are then applied to solve real world problems. The ability to picture many different types of functions will help students learn how and when to apply these functions, as well as give students the geometric intuition to understand the algebraic techniques. The skills and objectives from this course improve problem solving abilities....

This course gives the basic of the concepts of functions and gives opportunities for the student to challenge his basic understanding of functions by giving real-wrld examples of its application.

An excellent course just what I needed to understand functions better. The teacher is a pro at explaining and the exercises is perfectly put together. A thumbs up from me. Thanks:)

Straightforward until it hits the module on quadratic functions - urgh! I had to do a lot of independent reading in order to understand terms and processes that were mentioned but never described (e.g., factoring and foiling). Still, I guess that's what learning is all about and I got there in the end. A workout but worth it.

good. but with frequent lacunae. stuff doesn't get comprehensively explained and/or demonstrated

The "Application of Functions" section of Week 2 doesn't have any video instruction in contrast to the prior sections and it is harder to absorb the material as a result.
