Course Summary

Mathematics are the key to describe everything we can appreciate or interact with in nature. Thus, a robot also needs the abilities to move its mechanisms (locomotion), sense the environment (perception), reason accordingly (cognition), and take actions in the environment (navigation). A good understanding of what geometry stands for, basic linear algebra, calculus and operations with numbers, and some probability theory will be necessary to become a robotics developer.

What you will learn

• Linear Algebra, where you'll learn about vectors and matrices

• Calculus, where you'll learn about functions, derivatives, and integrals

• Probability, where you'll learn about random variables and belief distributions
