Course Description: This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, andapplication 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 set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language (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.

Course Learning Outcomes : At the end of the course, the students would be able to:

Knowledge
1. Discuss and argue about 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
4. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data;
5. Analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy, and security purposes; 6. Use mathematics in other areas such as finance;
Values
7. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life; and,
8. Affirm honesty and integrity in the appreciation of mathematics to various human endeavors.
