Learning Outcomes
(CILO)
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.
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
Knowledge
1. Discuss and argue about 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.
Skills
4. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data;
5. Analyze coders and coding schemes used 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.

Values
1. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life.
2. Affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human endeavours
