PHILOSOPHY
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 introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (in nature and the environment ) and as an application of inductive and deduct
reasoning. by exploring these topics, students are encourage to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics 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 living 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)
General Objective
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
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 and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts.
3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics.
Skills
4. Use variety of statistical tools to process and manage 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.
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 endeavors.
