member and leader of a team, and to manage projects in a
multidisciplinary environment; and
13) understand at least one specialized field of civil engineering

Course Description:

This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimension, and application of mathematics tools in
daily life. The course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (in nature and the environment) and as an
application of inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring g these topics, students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of
mathematics as merely a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in pattern of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of science)
governed by logic and reasoning. The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealing with
various aspects of present-day living, such as managing personal finances, making social choice, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes
used in data transmission and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a
board range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students understanding and capacity.
