Three hours of lecture per week for half of the semester. 0.50 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course will examine the mathematical underpinnings of patterns from diverse cultures and times, ranging from Egyptian tom decorations to medieval church pavement and from Nigerian fabric designs to the tiling of the Alhambra. In the process, we will explore the evolution of the definition and mathematical properties of symmetry from the incorporation in the Platonic solids of ancient Greece and the semi-regular tilings studied by Kepler to the more sophisticated patterns found in today's Penrose tilings and quasicrystals. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
A course designed primarily for students in the social and natural sciences. Topics include graphical methods, measures of central tendency and dispersion, basic probability, random variables, sampling, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Students having a mathematical background which includes Mathematics 231 should consider the Mathematics 305, 306 sequence for work in probability and statistics. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
In this course, we consider the application of elementary mathematical analysis to various procedures by which societies and individuals make decisions. Topics may include weighted and unweighted voting, fair division of resources, apportionment of goods and representatives, and personal decision-making algorithms based upon utility, risk, probability, expectation, and various game-theoretic strategies in general. Examples may be drawn from medicine, law, foreign policy, economics, psychology, sports, and gambling. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
Mathematics of equity involves the allocation of people, goods, or power among the members of a group. This course examines algorithms for allocating both divisible and indivisible assets and, especially, the notion of fairness as a quantifiable property and as the subject of several important theorems. Topics include: the mathematics of voting, fair division and the mathematics of sharing, linear programming, and taxation. This course satisfies the numerical and symbolic reasoning requirement. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
We introduce at an elementary level the mathematics necessary to analyze and understand games of strategy and chance, including: lotteries, poker, craps, tournaments, the prisoner's dilemma, and the Monte Hall problem. 1.00 units, Lecture
