  +Kinematics: Describing the Motions of Spacecraft,spacecraft-dynamics-kinematics,https://coursera.org/learn/spacecraft-dynamics-kinematics,Physical Science and Engineering,University of Colorado Boulder,"The movement of bodies in space (like spacecraft, satellites, and space stations) must be predicted and controlled with precision in order to ensure safety and efficacy. Kinematics is a field that develops descriptions and predictions of the motion of these bodies in 3D space. This course in Kinematics covers four major topic areas: an introduction to particle kinematics, a deep dive into rigid body kinematics in two parts (starting with classic descriptions of motion using the directional cosine matrix and Euler angles, and concluding with a review of modern descriptors like quaternions and Classical and Modified Rodrigues parameters). The course ends with a look at static attitude determination, using modern algorithms to predict and execute relative orientations of bodies in space.

  +After this course, you will be able to...
  +
  +* Differentiate a vector as seen by another rotating frame and derive frame dependent velocity and acceleration vectors
  +* Apply the Transport Theorem to solve kinematic particle problems and translate between various sets of attitude descriptions
  +* Add and subtract relative attitude descriptions and integrate those descriptions numerically to predict orientations over time
  +* Derive the fundamental attitude coordinate properties of rigid bodies and determine attitude from a series of heading measurements"

In this class, we will see that these two seemingly different questions can be addressed using similar algorithmic and machine learning techniques arising from the general problem of dividing data points into distinct clusters.
  
  In the first half of the course, we will introduce algorithms for clustering a group of objects into a collection of clusters based on their similarity, a classic problem in data science, and see how these algorithms can be applied to gene expression data.
  
  In the second half of the course, we will introduce another classic tool in data science called principal components analysis that can be used to preprocess multidimensional data before clustering in an effort to greatly reduce the number dimensions without losing much of the ""signal"" in the data.
  
  Finally, you will learn how to apply popular bioinformatics software tools to solve a real problem in clustering."

  Genomics: Decoding the Universal Language of Life,genomics-research,https://coursera.org/learn/genomics-research,Life Sciences,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,"What is a genome? A genome contains all of the information that a cell needs to develop, function, and reproduce itself, and all the information needed for those cells to come together to form a person, plant, or animal. Genomes contain an organism’s complete set of genes, and also the even tinier genetic structures that help regulate when and how those genes are used. The ability to regrow a torn ligament, the clues that might predict the onset of mental illness, the nutritional potential of crops, and even the history of life itself, are all encoded in genomes."
