Learning During the Pandemic
Mathematics Free Online Courses
Given the excellent feedback we received from our audience on an earlier blog post that compiled a list of free econometrics courses online, we have now prepared for you a list of free online courses (MOOC format) that you can take in the discipline of mathematics. Like econometrics, proficiency in math is a prerequisite for performing well in economics courses at all reputable universities around the world. The knowledge required may range from high school algebra and differential equations to understanding the basics of logic and analysis of algorithms.
Once again, all courses listed here are available in English and range from beginner to advanced levels in terms of difficulty. While some are open tutorials available at any time of the year, others have opening and closing dates for participation. During these bizarre times of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, these courses are a great way to stay at the top of your academic game.
