6. Course D,escription:

The course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and
aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematicaltools in daily life.

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of

patterns and as an application of inductive and deductive reasoning. The @urse then proceeds to
survey ways in which mathematics provides a toolfor 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. (CMO No.20 series of 2013)
