Mathematics in The Modern World

The course aims to help students appreciate mathematics beyond formulas by exploring its nature as a tool for patterns, reasoning, and decision making. It covers topics like personal finances, social choices, and data transmission to demonstrate real-world applications of mathematical concepts and develop skills in areas like linear regression. Upon completing the course, students will be able to discuss the nature of mathematics and use techniques such as isometries for geometric designs and Polya's four steps to solve problems.

Mathematics in the Modern World Curriculum

Course Title: Mathematics in the Modern World

No. 0f Units: 3 Units

Course Description:

This course deals with nature of mathematics, explore the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical and aesthetic
dimensions, and application of various mathematical tools in 21st century. It also exposes students to quantitative reasoning
and decision making in everyday life tools in daily life.

The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of pattern (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. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013
