COURSE/SUBJECT TITLE : GEC 4 – MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD
COURSE CREDIT : 3 units
PRE-REQUISITE :
COURSE DESCRIPTION : 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 as bunch 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.
The course is also intended to build capacity among the students/participants to be able to train additional faculty who can teach the new GE
course, Mathematics in the Modern World.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)


At the end of the course, the students will:
1. Share their insights about the nature of mathematics what is, how it is expressed, represented, and used in everyday life through
classroom argumentation and debate.
2. Exchange ideas about the application of the new GE course Mathematics in the Modern World to various human endeavors through small
group discussion.
3. Apply the language and symbols, and different types of reasoning to justify statements made about by mathematics in other areas such as
finance, coding schemes, networks, health and recreation through a quantitative project proposal.
