Review basic math prerequisites for quantum computing and quantum physics

This is a refresher course in Mathematics for students who studied Math and Physics through 12th grade at high school but have now forgotten many of the details. In fewer than 4 hours, this course reviews the Math you will need to understand quantum computing concepts.

The focus is on getting you up-to-speed as quickly as possible. This covers only what you need to know: probability, statistics, Boolean logic, complex numbers, and linear algebra. You will not waste time on topics you do not need for quantum computing.

To get the most out of this course, you need to have already studied Math at a 12th-grade level in high school. This is merely a review course to help you refresh your memory. If you have not studied these topics in high school, then this 4-hour course is no substitute for 2 years of high school Math classes.

This course reviews basic high-school Math. It doesn’t go into any details about quantum physics or quantum computing.
