This course aims to discuss the nature of mathematics leading to appreciation of its practical, intellectual, social and aesthetic
dimensions. It includes the study of the nature of mathematics and how the perception of this leads to different tools 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.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

At the end of the course, the students would 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 the different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts.
3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics.

Skills
1. Use the variety of statistical tools to process
2. Analyze codes and coding schemes used for identification, privacy, and security purposes;
3. 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.
