Course Title: Mathematics in the Modern World

Course Code: GE MMW

Course Description: This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its
practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tools
in daily life. This course also provides glimpses into the nature of mathematics and
how it is used to understand our world.
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 in nature, for example, and a rich language in
itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning.
