COURSE INFORMATION
Course Code: Math Course Pre-requisites: None Semester: 1st Semester Credit Units: 3
Course Title: Mathematics in the Modern World Course Schedule:
Course Description:
The nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetics dimensions, and application of mathematical tools in daily life.

This 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 bunch of formulas, but
as source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and rich language in itself (and if 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 ND security, and dividing limited
resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range exercises that bring out the various dimensions of
mathematics as a way of knowing and test the students understanding and capacity.

Course Outcomes: At the end of course, learners should be able to:

Knowledge
Page 1 of 9
 1. Discuss and argueabout the nature of mathematics, what it is, how it is expressed, represented, and used.
2. Use different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts.
3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics.

Skills
1. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and mange numerical data;
2. Analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy, and security purposes;
3. Use mathematics in other areas such as finance, voting, health and medicine, business, environment, arts and design, and recreation.

Values
1. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life.
2. Affirm honestly and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human endeavors.
