Build an Interactive Investment App with R Shiny
Learners will be able to design, build, and deploy a fully functional investment application using R Shiny. By the end of this course, learners will understand how to structure Shiny applications, create interactive user interfaces, implement reactive server logic, and apply secure user authentication. They will also develop the ability to visualize investment data, manage application parameters, and deploy Shiny apps for real-world access. This hands-on, project-based course guides learners through the complete lifecycle of an R Shiny investment app—from initial setup and UI design to server-side development, data visualization, and deployment. Rather than focusing on isolated concepts, the course emphasizes practical implementation through a cohesive case study, allowing learners to apply skills in a realistic context. Learners benefit by gaining experience with real-world Shiny workflows, improving their ability to build scalable, user-friendly applications. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end approach: learners do not just learn Shiny concepts, they implement them in a production-style project that includes authentication, reactivity, and deployment. This course is ideal for learners seeking to strengthen their applied R Shiny skills through practical, job-relevant experience.

Arabic for Beginners: Communicating in Arabic Culture
This course is the second of a three-course specialization in elementary Arabic. Communicating in Arabic Culture begins with specifically delving into terms related to education and school-related terminology. Speaking Arabic as a second language in a culturally and internationally diverse workspace can offer significant rewards. Furthermore, proficiency in Arabic becomes exceptionally valuable when traveling to or working in Arabic-speaking countries, particularly in situations involving financial transactions. In our technology-driven world, where technology impacts nearly every facet of life, from transportation efficiency and safety to access to food, healthcare, socialization, and productivity, the internet's power has facilitated the formation of global communities for the easy sharing of ideas and resources, as exemplified by this course. Understanding the human body's various parts in the context of international sports and medicine is of paramount importance. This course, therefore, focuses on the multifaceted uses of body parts, both physical and emotional, as forms of expression in Arabic culture.

Introduction to Linear Algebra
Linear algebra and calculus are the two most important foundational pillars on which modern mathematics is built. They are studied by almost all mathematics students at university, though typically labelled as different subjects and taught in parallel. Over time, students discover that linear algebra and calculus are inseparable (but not identical) twins that interlock to form the backbone of almost all applications of mathematics to physical and biological sciences, engineering and computer science. It is recommended that participants in the MOOC Introduction to Linear Algebra have already taken, or take in parallel, the MOOC Introduction to Calculus. All of our modern technical and electronic systems, such as the internet and search engines, on which we rely and tend to take for granted in our daily lives, work because of methods and techniques adapted from classical linear algebra. The key ideas involve vector and matrix arithmetic as well as clever methods for working around or overcoming difficulties, a form of obstacle avoidance, articulated in this course as the Conjugation Principle. This course emphasises geometric intuition, gradually introducing abstraction and algebraic and symbolic manipulation, while at the same time striking a balance between theory and application, leading to a mastery of key threshold concepts in foundational mathematics. Students taking Introduction to Linear Algebra will: • gain familiarity with the arithmetic of geometric vectors, which may be thought of as directed line segments that can move about freely in space, and can be combined in different ways, using vector addition, scalar multiplication and two types of multiplication, the dot and cross product, related to projections and orthogonality (first week), • develop fluency with lines and planes in space, represented by vector and Cartesian equations, and learn how to solve systems of equations, using the method of Gaussian elimination and introduction of parameters, using fields of real numbers and modular arithmetic with respect to a prime number (second week), • be introduced to and gain familiarity with matrix arithmetic, matrix inverses, the role of elementary matrices and their relationships with matrix inversion and systems of equations, calculations and theory involving determinants (third week), • be introduced to the theory of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, how they are found or approximated, and their role in diagonalisation of matrices (fourth week), • see applications to simple Markov processes and stochastic matrices, and an introduction to linear transformations, illustrated using dilation, rotation and reflection matrices (fourth week), • see a brief introduction to the arithmetic of complex numbers and discussion of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (fourth week).

The Unix Workbench
Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench. Unix provides an essential and simple set of tools in a distraction-free environment. Even if you’re not a software developer learning Unix can open you up to new methods of thinking and novel ways to scale your ideas. This course is intended for folks who are new to programming and new to Unix-like operating systems like macOS and Linux distributions like Ubuntu. Most of the technologies discussed in this course will be accessed via a command line interface. Command line interfaces can seem alien at first, so this course attempts to draw parallels between using the command line and actions that you would normally take while using your mouse and keyboard. You’ll also learn how to write little pieces of software in a programming language called Bash, which allows you to connect together the tools we’ll discuss. My hope is that by the end of this course you be able to use different Unix tools as if they’re interconnecting Lego bricks.
