COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual and aesthetic dimensions and applications 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 in 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 various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing,
and test the students’ understanding and capacity. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013).

Classroom Expectations
1. Be Prepared. Your grade is your sole responsibility. Earn the good grade you deserve by coming to class prepared. Complete reading assignments and other homework
before class so that you can understand the lecture and participate in discussion. Have your homework ready to submit and always bring your book,
notebook, paper and writing materials. You are not allowed to borrow anything from your classmates to ensure avoidance of virus transmission. This
is for your health’s safety. Also, each of you is assigned to be the prayer leader for the day. If you are assigned to lead, please be ready with your
prayer. (Accountability, Credibility and Integrity, Spirituality)
2. Be Participative. Be ready and willing to participate in classroom discussions. Contribute proactively to class discussions. Do not hesitate to ask questions during
class discussions. Remember, you came to school to learn. (Competence and Commitment to Achieve Excellence)
3. Be Punctual. Seat plan will be used for the checking of attendance. If you are not on your designated area once the class has started, you will be considered late/absent.
Submit your homeworks/problem sets/ class activities on time too. (Accountability, Competence and Commitment to Achieve Excellence)
4. Be Respectful. Any action that bothers another student or the teacher, or any disruptive behavior in class, is considered disrespectful. Demonstrate proper respect for
teachers, your classmates, other university personnel and all university property. Listen to others and evaluate ideas on their own merit. (Social
Responsiveness)
5. Be Tidy. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Wear your complete proper uniform. Likewise, your activities must be clean and properly stapled. Loose leaves are prone
to be misplaced. Your clean work reflects that homeworks/problem sets are well-prepared. Before leaving the classroom, please make sure that your place
is clean. Pick up litters and throw them on the designated trash bins. (Accountability, Credibility and Integrity, Competence and Commitment to Achieve
Excellence, Social and Environmental Responsiveness)
