Mathematical Literacy for the 21st Century
Mathematics often comes to us as pre-packaged collections of abstract concepts, words, symbols, relations, and manipulations. Typically, individuals memorize “one-size-fits-some” algorithms but remain perplexed at how, when, or why these methods work. This course tracks the historical and conceptual foundations of mathematics with a view to understanding mathematics as a language and way of thinking and discovering its relevance to our world.
