X 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 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.

3. Students with 3 consecutive absences will automatically be dropped from the class roll.
4. Students who wished to drop the course must do so officially and not just stop coming to class.
5. Academic dishonesty: Any form of cheating or plagiarism in this course will result in zero on the exam, assignment, or project. Allowing others access to your work
potentially involves you in cheating. Working with others to produce very similar reports is plagiarism regardless of intent.
