Welcome to Reasoning with Mathematics. This course offers students the opportunity to explore mathematics and the way we use it to understand our world. It is not a course aimed at teaching calculations. It is a course aimed at teaching the thinking processes that are at the heart of mathematics, reasoning and science. Understanding these concepts help us all to make more sense out of the extraordinary complexity of human life and culture as the twentieth century becomes the 21st. The on-line course materials provide units of study built around each of the course topics. The Course Summary describes the topics considered in the course, outlines readings, provides information about World Wide Web sites related to those topics and establishes and explains the order in which the works will be considered. Searching the Internet provides you with easy access to a large number of search engines which can be used to explore topics of interest to you as you work through this course.
