Mathematics for Programmers: Sets, Logic, Algebra and Precalculus: Free Course

About this course

Study Mathematics for Programmers: Sets, Logic, Algebra and Precalculus through this free English video course from freeCodeCamp. The classroom brings together all 35 public recordings from the selected source curriculum, totaling approximately 13h 4m. You can watch the teaching sequence, search the lesson list and keep track of the recordings you have completed. The course focuses on the subject named in its title. Its value comes from following the explanations and making your own small practice attempts, with enough time to inspect the result and explain the decisions involved.

Course Overview

The provider’s recorded learning sequence includes its sets-and-logic series plus complete algebra and precalculus courses. Keep all 35 entries.

The source lesson list includes “Maths for Programmers: Introduction (Tips For Learning)”, “Maths for Programmers: Sets (Distributive Law Proof (Case 2))”, “Precalculus Course”. The classroom retains their original titles and positions. Introductions, supplementary explanations and complete-course recordings remain present whenever they are part of the source. A repeated recording is retained at each original position, allowing the course to be checked against the published teaching sequence.

Sets and operations

Follow the numbered introductory and set lessons. Define the universe, identify membership and compare union, intersection and complements on a small example.

Propositional reasoning

Study the logic sequence, including truth tables, laws, conditionals and quantifiers. Check a statement by listing cases and distinguish a general claim from one supporting example.

Algebra foundations

Work through the retained complete college-algebra recording. Show intermediate steps and connect symbolic manipulations with the relationships they preserve.

Functions and precalculus

Follow the complete precalculus recording. Relate formulas, graphs and conditions, and identify how a mathematical representation could help describe a small computational task.

Who is this for?

This course suits learners who want the specific subject described above and who can work at the stated level. It is also useful as a recorded reference when revisiting a concept or comparing a practice attempt with a demonstrated example. Beginners should give the foundational explanations time before moving to more elaborate applications. Experienced learners can use the lesson names to locate a topic, then inspect the surrounding context before applying a technique.

Before you start

Secondary-school arithmetic and willingness to work through examples are helpful. The two longer recordings add substantial study time beyond the introductory clips. Paper and a calculator are useful for independent practice.

Put the lessons into practice

Define two sets of fictional catalogue entries and answer three queries with set operations. Translate one query into a logical statement and check its truth table. Add a small algebraic model for a changing quantity, then explain its variables and conditions. Sketch a related function and compare two inputs. The aim is to connect representations while keeping each calculation small enough to verify.

Treat this suggested exercise as independent practice provided by WikiFree. Keep a short working note containing your inputs, assumptions, result and one point you still need to check. Revisit the relevant recording when a step is unclear, then attempt a small variation without following the demonstration line by line. A result you can explain and reproduce is a more useful study outcome than simply recognizing a familiar term. The exercise is not submitted to an instructor for grading.

Certificate / Assessment

Watching these public recordings and using WikiFree completion tracking does not award a certificate, academic credit, an examination voucher or instructor assessment. The video curriculum is the material included here. Separate platform assignments, credentials and paid services are not part of video viewing. Use the practice output to review which concepts you can explain, which steps you can repeat independently and which questions need another look at the teaching.
