MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD
This course deals with the nature of mathematics, the appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and the 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 in 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 that is a study of mathematical language and symbols but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language in solving problem in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing with various aspects of present-day living. These mathematics as a tool include mathematical systems, data management, logic, and mathematics of graphs. 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 student's understanding and capacity.Public Personnel Administration (BPA3A)
