COURSE OUTLINE

Course Code: GEC 2

Course Name: Mathematics in the Modern World
Course Description: This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its
practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tool 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.
