It has been said that the loom upon which the fabric of the universe is woven is mathematics. The very fact the universe is understandable through the language of mathematics is perhaps the least understandable part of the universe. In this course, I want to introduce a number of mathematical tools, instrumenta mathematica, that can be used to understand our universe, from the bonds that bring atoms together, to the progress of disease during a pandemic, to the systems that influence the changes in our climate, and to the forces that describe the motions of the planets.
