This course will help you understand mathematics and physics in the context of the Geosciences. You will focus on understanding the mathematical, physical and statistical methods necessary to understand geologic processes. You will learn the Python computing language to write computer code to apply, use, and learn these concepts. You will also recognize the application of similar mathematical and physical equations to a broad range of subdisciplines in the Geosciences. After this course, you should feel more comfortable understanding math and physics and their applications to Geosciences.

Undergraduate prerequisites: Math 127 or MATH 131
