Prerequisite(s) None students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a set of
None 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,
Co-Requisite(s) 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.
