This course uses a curated set of discipline-focused problems to introduce the mathematical tools and analytical techniques essential in assessing, enhancing, and restoring human movement and performance. Drawing from algebra, trigonometry, geometry, vectors, and time series data analysis, students will learn how to analyze discrete data streams to address integrative questions in biomechanics, neuroscience, physiology, and nutrition. These quantitative competencies support upper-year coursework and professional preparation across the breadth of kinesiology.
