Mathematics in the Modern World 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

This book Mathematics in the Modern World is written to help college students answer the following questions: What is mathematics? Where can it be found? What is it for? What is it about? How is it done? Who uses it? The first four chapters discuss the required lessons identified in the course syllabus while the remaining chapters are the elective ones. It is important to note that the first four chapters, namely The Nature of Mathematics, Mathematical Language and Symbols, Problem Solving and Reasoning, and The Statistical Tools are the non-negotiable topics, and together with one or two from the elective ones, depending on the need of the students, make up the whole course.
