COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Description This course deals with the 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 science1) 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.
