Syllabus – Math 1 Mathematics in the Modern World 2
 Knowledge

1. Discuss and argue about the nature of mathematics, what it is, how it is expressed, represented, and used;

2. Use different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts; and

3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics.

1. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data;

2. Analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy, and security purposes; and

3. Use mathematics in other areas such as finance, voting, health and medicine, business, environment, arts and design, and recreation.

Values

1. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life; and

2. Affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human endeavors.

X 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 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 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 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 No.20, series of 2013)

***Choose two or three topics from this section basically according to the program of specialization.

XII Course Policies:

1. Tardiness: Three late log in Google meet will be considered one absence. A student is considered late if comes to class within 15 minutes
after the start of the period. In case of problem in connection can return at least 5 minutes prior to the class schedule.
2. Attendance: Maximum allowable number of hours of absence is 20% of the total hours’ allotment for the whole semester, failure to comply will
automatically dropped from the class roll.
3. Assignments/Seatwork/Problem Sets: No more assignments will be accepted after the due date.
4. Quiz/Examination: A student who missed to take a quiz or an exam due to illness will be given a special quiz only after a medical certificate is
presented within 10 days from the date of the test. This certificate is to be attached to the formal letter of request addressed to the program
head and instructor of affiliation for approval. Absence due to reasons other than illness will be subjected to the scrutiny of the instructor and it
is on his/her decision whether the student should be given a special test. Conditions and requirements on taking special quiz exam like
schedule, grading, coverage and other concerns will be based on the instructor’s decision.
5. Always turn off the microphone and video unless told by the instructor.
6. Academic dishonesty: Any form of cheating or plagiarism on quiz, assignment or project in this course will automatically get zero or a grade
5.0. Allowing others to access one’s work potentially involves cheating. Working with others to produce very similar reports is plagiarism
regardless.
7. Dropping: Students who wished to drop the course must do officially on the date given by the registrar. Non-compliance will result to a failing
grade of 5.0 on the course.
8. No text messaging or entertaining phone calls during class hours. Please, be courteous and turn off cellular phones while inside the Google
meet.
9. Problems encountered with the subject must be discussed to the instructor. Such consultation may be made in person during designated time.
10. Rules on using the University’s facilities and equipment must be observed and complied while completing the course.

XIII. Grading System:

60% - Class Standing (Formative Test, Reports, Recitations, Attendance, Attitude, etc…)

40% - Major Examinations (Traditional and/or Authentic)

100% - Total Performance/Output
