Course Description:
Each of you has been exposed to basic mathematics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry and, in some cases, calculus, but there is much more to mathematics than those basic mathematical skills. In this course, we will explore some of the greatest ideas of humankind within the realm of mathematics by investigating topics that include problem solving, logic, geometry, probability, game theory, number theory, chaos, fractals, and connections to science and the arts. Although the course will be challenging, you will gain an appreciation of mathematics and discover the power of mathematical thinking in everyday life. |
