OBE SYLLABUS IN MATHEMATICS IN THE MODERN WORLD

DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: BS Development Communication


COURSE CODE: GEC 3
COURSE TITLE: Mathematics in the Modern World
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.

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 aesthetic 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 broad range of exercises that bring out the
various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test
students’ understanding and capacity. (CMO No. 20, series of
2013).
