Daily Study Group: Introduction to Finite Mathematics
About This Study Group
This Daily Study Group follows lessons from the upcoming Wolfram U Introduction to Finite Mathematics course. Topics in finite mathematics are chosen for their real-world application to business, economics, social sciences and biology. Finite mathematics has become a common course of study in business schools, so prepare yourself for a course of study distinct from calculus.

The instructor guides each session by sharing short lessons, polling the group to review key concepts, introducing practice problems and answering questions. A certificate of program completion will be awarded to participants who attend online sessions and pass quizzes. Level 1 proficiency certification will be awarded to those who also pass the online course exam.
