            The course is divided into three (3) different parts.  The first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and psychology-as well as the more traditional division between the East and West- each seeking to provide answers to the difficult but essential question of “What is the self?”  And raising, among others, the question,“ Is there even such a construct as the self?”

            The second part explores some of the various aspects that make up the self, such as the biological and material up to and including the more recent Digital Self.  The third and final part identifies three areas of concern for young students:  Learning, goal setting and managing stress.  It also provides for the more practical application of the concepts discussed in the course and enables them the hands-on experience of developing self-help plans for self-regulating learning, goal setting, and self-care.

This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimension, and application of mathematical tools in daily life.

            This 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 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 patterns 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 choices, 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 broad range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students’ understanding and capacity.
