This course teaches a calculus that enables precise quantitative predictions of large combinatorial structures. Part I covers generating functions and real asymptotics and then introduces the symbolic method in the context of applications in the analysis of algorithms and basic structures such as permutations, trees, strings, words, and mappings.

This course teaches a calculus that enables precise quantitative predictions of large combinatorial structures.

A course driven by 20 practical questions about wireless, web, and the Internet, about how products from companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Ericsson, HP, Skype and AT&T work. In this offering, we will cover 7 of the 20 questions, and you will have the opportunity to personalize your own learning experience by choosing which of the versions suits you best.

This course is designed for students who are new to virtual reality and want to learn about the principles of VR technology including optics, displays, stereopsis, tracking, and major hardware platforms. You don’t need any programming experience to get started. By the end of this course, you will have created and deployed a VR application. You will understand the physical principles of VR and you will use that knowledge to create a comfortable, high-performance VR application using Unity.

In this course, you’ll learn the the fundamentals of using the Unity Game Engine to build beautiful and performant VR scenes. Starting from basic game objects, you will learn about transforms and materials, so that you can position objects and make them look realistic. Next, you will experiment with animations and cameras in order to make our scenes more engaging in VR. And finally, you will add some complex lighting to your scene to really make your experience really stand out.

With this course, you will learn about AutoLayout and how to use stack views and constraints to create pixel-perfect UIs. Also, you will take a deep dive and learn about some of the most commonly misunderstood properties affecting layout like distribution, alignment, content hugging, and compression resistance. Then, you will put all of this knowledge to use and start creating functional interfaces with multiple stack views and UI elements. In fact, you will recreate an interface from a very well known app. And, by the end of this course, you will be ready to create beautiful interfaces from scratch.

In this course, you’ll learn how to grow an app's user base using Firebase Analytics, a free and unlimited analytics solution. You'll be able to learn who your users are and how they interact with your app. You can then use this information to make informed decisions to improve your app, such as how difficult to make a level in a game, where to place an advertisement, or what products to stock. We'll begin by covering the basics of digital analytics focusing on an app that is live in the App Store and Google Play Store as an example. You'll then explore the app's actual usage data using the Firebase console. After that, you'll learn how easy it is to add Firebase Analytics to an app and quickly gain insights. Finally, you'll learn how to use Firebase Crash Reporting, Firebase Remote Config, and Firebase Dynamic Links integrated with Firebase Analytics to improve your app and grow your user base. By the end of this course you'll have an app that records how users interact with it, and you'll know how use that data to improve performance. You'll have the foundation needed to apply Firebase Analytics to your own apps.

For an app developer, providing a seamless user experience is critical for building engagement and growing a user base. Passwordless login solution provide your users with a simple, secure, and positive first experience. In this course, you'll learn two frameworks for sign-up and authentication : Account Kit, which uses a phone number and code and Facebook Login for iOS. You’ll learn how to configure both types of authentication side by side in a sample app, test the flow on a series of common use cases and wrap things up with an introduction to Facebook’s Graph API, a window into an incredible wealth of data for creating a more engaging experience for your users.

This is an introduction to quantum computation, a cutting edge field that tries to exploit the exponential power of computers based on quantum mechanics. The course does not assume any prior background in quantum mechanics, and can be viewed as a very simple and conceptual introduction to that field.

This course will examine the ethical, legal and social issues raised by neuroscience. Topics will include the implications of new knowledge of the brain for our understanding of selfhood, for the meaning of privacy, for the distinction between therapy and enhancement, and for national security.

This course will explore the complex challenges of allocating scarce medical resources at both the micro and macro level. Students will learn the theories behind allocation and use modern examples to explore how society makes the difficult decisions that arise when there is not enough to go around.

Nerves, the heart, and the brain are electrical. How do these things work? This course presents fundamental principles, described quantitatively.

This course covers the essentials of using the version control system Git. You'll be able to create a new Git repo, commit changes, and review the commit history of an existing repo. You'll also learn how to keep your commits organized using tags and branches and you'll master the art of merging changes by crushing those pesky merge conflicts. Oh no! Was a mistake made along the way? Learn how to edit commits, revert changes, or even delete commits.

After taking this course, you should be able to identify the pros & cons of the VR headsets currently on the market, identify future technologies that will increase the immersiveness of VR, and give examples of ways VR will impact certain industries, such as Education or Medicine. Throughout the course, you will be exposed to key concepts that are used in the VR industry such as Lightfield Displays or Foveated Rendering. You will also get a chance to prototype some of these concepts in the Unity Game Engine. At the end of each lesson, you will write a blog post, where you will design a VR applications for the headset of your choice using the concepts we have covered.

C++ for Programmers is designed for students who are familiar with a programming language and wish to learn C++. This course focuses on 'how' as opposed to 'what'. For example, in the lesson on functions, we do not teach what a function is, but rather how to create a function in C++. The lessons are taught by several different instructors who have used C++ in their professional careers, so students get to experience different perspectives. The course also includes comments and tips from Bjarne Stroustrup - the original designer of C++.

In this course, you'll learn how to utilize Swift as a server-side language for building end-to-end applications that run on Linux and in the cloud. Whether you’re an Apple developer, a full stack developer, or just getting started with app development, this course offers an opportunity to master server-side Swift, while gaining vital transferable skills that can be used for any server-side development. Enroll in the course today, and you’ll enjoy a feature-packed learning experience that is fun, informative, and loaded with expert input from our partners at IBM.

In this course, students will iterate on a single project starting with sketches, user personas, and outlines. Through the process of user testing and iteration, students will create a highly refined and well-designed virtual reality experience—starting with low-fidelity content and continually improving it based on information from real users. Through the lens of a single application using Unity, user testing, and mobile VR, students will learn about things such as simulator sickness, movement mechanics, audio, user focus, and the overall design process. Once a student has completed the VR Design course, they are ready to create a well-designed VR experience from inception to final product.
