COURSE TITLE: Mathematics in the Modern World
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 lie. 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 pattern 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 knowing, and test the students understanding and capacity.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, the students will be able to:
(CLOs)
A. Knowledge
1. discuss and argue 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;
B. Skills
4. use a variety of statistical tools to process numerical data;
5. analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy, and security purposes;
6. use mathematics in other areas, such as finance, voting, health and medicine, business, environment, arts and design, and
recreation;
C. Values
7. appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life; and
