BULACAN POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE
Bulihan, City of Malolos
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.
