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 of 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 aesthetic in patterns of nature, for
example, and a rich language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provide 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 transmissions 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 20,
series of 2013).
