Connections 20002 - Voting Theory,Math and Congress

Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Not all elections are determined by simply counting who gets the most votes and declaring that person the winner. Mathematical theories of voting can create alternative voting methods that may then be applied to congressional elections as well as to the everyday functioning of the legislative branch. These courses, meant to be taken simultaneously, will explore the relationship between theory and practice through a joint project in which students from both classes work together on a simulation of a political campaign and election. Connections: Math 217 Voting Theory and Pols 211 or Pols 311 Congress and the Legislative Process
