[email protected]COURSE TITLE Mathematics in the Modern World
COURSE CODE GEN ED 2
UNIT 3 units
COURSE This course deals with the nature of mathematics, the appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and the application
DESCRIPTION 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 then proceeds to survey ways 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 testing the students’ understanding
and capacity.
