Brief Description: This course shows how mathematics, including some of the mathematics
learned in high school and some mathematics which is different from what was
learned in high school, can be applied to practical situations. Topics covered are chosen on the basis of
applicability, accessibility to students with a limited mathematical
background, and use of relative new mathematical techniques, and may include
finance, statistics, elections, graphs, symmetry, and/or probability. Among the applications covered may be how the
site of the Olympic Games is chosen, how the voting is done to select a movie
to win an Academy Award, and how statistical data can be collected and used to
mislead the public. The course is
designed for students majoring in disciplines that require little or no additional
mathematics or mathematics related classes.
The course
incorporates writing into the curriculum.
Students in the course are expected to give justifications when
answering questions and not to give simply one-word answers.
