You may not have realized it, but mathematics is an indispensable part of our daily lives. They are present in everything we do!
For example, when we make purchases and calculate expenses, we are doing a little arithmetic. In a conversation about natural phenomena or climate change, we are talking about chemistry and physics. And surely there is a lot of math every time we have to calculate taxes, right?
The progress of knowledge about numbers has allowed our societies to evolve: buildings, bridges, roads, science and technology, entrepreneurship and family economy. Every day we apply exact science to the decisions we make.
In this sense, today we have put together an important agenda of free courses to learn mathematics, from the basic level to the most advanced. For this we have the collaboration of renowned universities in Latin America and different educational platforms.
What will I learn in these courses?
We have courses ranging from math for kids, math for teachers, or math for college students; to specialized courses in mathematics for economists, accountants, chemists and physicists.
Can I enroll in more than one course?
Actually, it all depends on your own abilities. If you feel confident that you can take more than one course, take it seriously and responsibly. Remember that a study opportunity is an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Do I have to pay for the courses?
No. The courses we share are free to access. This means that you do not need to pay for enrollment or enrollment, much less for the content that you will learn each week.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?
In some cases we have the possibility of accessing a digital certification granted by one of the foreign universities. This right to accreditation is subject to an optional payment. Remember that the final decision to receive a certification is voluntary.
Are we ready? These are all the free math courses that you can start right now.
