Course Description and Objectives

This course introduces students to mathematics as both an exploration of patterns in nature and an application of reasoning. It shows how mathematics provides tools for understanding personal finances, social choices, geometric designs, data transmission, and allocating limited resources. The course objectives are for students to discuss the nature of mathematics and how it is represented; use reasoning to justify statements; discuss mathematical language and symbols; use statistical tools and analyze codes; and apply mathematics to areas like finance, voting, and design while appreciating its everyday uses and maintaining integrity.

MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

Course Description: This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its
practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tools in daily
life.

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of


patterns (in nature and the environment) and as an application of inductive and deductive
reasoning. By exploring these topics, students are encouraged to go beyond the typical
understanding of mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in
patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of Science) governed by logic
and reasoning.

The course proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding
and dealing with various aspects of present-day living, such as managing personal finances,
making social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data
transmission and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide
opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the
various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing and test the students’ understanding
and capacity (CMO No. 20, SO 2013).

Course Objectives: At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
Knowledge
1. Discuss and argue about the nature of mathematics, what it is, how it is expressed,
represented, and used.
2. Use different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about
mathematics and mathematical concepts.
3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics.

Skills
1. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data
2. Analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy and security
purposes.
3. Use mathematics on other areas such as finance, voting, health and medicine,
business, environment, arts and design, and recreation.

Values
1. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life.
Affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human
endeavors.
