Single Variable Calculus
Calculus is one of the grandest achievements of human thought, explaining everything from planetary orbits to the optimal size of a city to the periodicity of a heartbeat. This brisk course covers the core ideas of single-variable Calculus with emphases on conceptual understanding and applications. The course is ideal for students beginning in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. Distinguishing features of the course include: 1) the introduction and use of Taylor series and approximations from the beginning; 2) a novel synthesis of discrete and continuous forms of Calculus; 3) an emphasis on the conceptual over the computational; and 4) a clear, dynamic, unified approach. In this fifth part--part five of five--we cover a calculus for sequences, numerical methods, series and convergence tests, power and Taylor series, and conclude the course with a final exam. Learners in this course can earn a certificate in the series by signing up for Coursera's verified certificate program and passing the series' final exam.

Unreal Engine: Apply & Implement Physics Simulations
This course empowers learners to apply core physics principles and implement dynamic simulations using Unreal Engine’s built-in physics tools. Beginning with foundational setups, students will construct physics-enabled levels, manipulate gravity, and configure object behavior to achieve lifelike motion and collisions. Through a series of progressively challenging lessons, learners will develop skills in working with physical materials, such as friction and restitution, and assign them to objects to control surface interactions. As they advance, they will employ physics constraints to restrict motion, and deploy force actors to simulate real-world effects like explosions and wind fields. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence to synthesize physics systems into interactive environments, ready for use in games, simulations, or virtual experiences. With a blend of guided instruction, practice quizzes, and graded assessments, this course supports both conceptual understanding and technical execution.
