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 loving, such as managing personal finances, making
social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in
data transmission and security, and dividing limited sources 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.
