Besides being a body of knowledge, Mathematics is a way of thinking, a different lens for viewing the world. This course uses games, puzzles, and classic problems to introduce problem solving techniques and some of the big ideas that have fascinated mathematicians over the centuries. With its focus on exploration, discovery, and collaboration, we’ll prioritize mathematics as a process rather than a product. This course satisfies the general education mathematics requirement.
