MATH.1510 Explorations in Mathematics (Formerly 92.151)

Description

This course is not so much about the mathematics of formulas, equations, rules and errors, as about mathematics that can be experienced: counted, drawn, seen, created; quite simply: played with. Officially, we will encounter concepts of combinatorics, geometry, number theory and Boolean logic. Unofficially, we will experiment with puzzles and patterns and develop as much mathematics from them as we can. Prerequisites: high school mathematics and willingness to explore. No credit in science or engineering. This course satisfies the Quantitative Reasoning requirement.

Course prerequisites/corequisites are determined by the faculty and approved by the curriculum committees. Students are required to fulfill these requirements prior to enrollment. For courses offered through online or GPS delivery, students are responsible for confirming with the instructor or department that all enrollment requirements have been satisfied before registering.
