1. For this assignment, you need to identify TWO career paths related to cognitive science and
explain how calculus and linear algebra can be applied to each of them. To complete this
assignment, follow these steps:
i. Choose two career paths related to cognitive science, such as data science, machine
learning engineering, computational neuroscience, or cognitive psychology.
ii.
iii.
iv.
V.
For each career path, explain how calculus and linear algebra are applied. Provide
specific examples of calculations or operations relevant to each career. For instance,
discuss how linear algebra models decision-making behavior in cognitive psychology
or how calculus optimizes machine learning algorithms in data science.
Organize your findings clearly and support them with evidence from various sources,
including academic journals, textbooks, online articles, and other reputable sources.
Ensure your examples are original and not discussed in class before..
Avoid relying solely on sources provided by the lecturer or course materials.
Note: Remember to cite any sources you use in your research. Good luck, and have fun
exploring the many ways that calculus and linear algebra can be applied in the field of
cognitive science!
