Course Title Mathematics in the Modern World
Course Code GE 9 Course Category
Course This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, aesthetic dimensions, and
Description application of mathematical tools in daily life.

This 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.

This 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.
