Mathematics - Gutenberg College

Mathematics from Gutenberg College is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. We human beings are rational creatures and as such desire to put our experience into some sort of rational order. Mathematics is one way in which we have pursued that goal. Mathematics is a formal exploration of the nature and limitations of our rationality as it relates to quantity. To the extent that our understanding of rationality has changed over time, so has our understanding of mathematics . The mathematics curriculum has a dual purpose in examining the nature of mathematical reasoning. First, an examination of the nature and limitations of our rationality is important in its own right. An understanding of rationality logically precedes a pursuit of knowledge and is thus a worthwhile goal. Second, the development of mathematics tells us something of our culture's ideas and their origins. The two-year sequence is divided into ancient and modern mathematics. The first year is devoted to ancient mathematics , primarily examining Euclid's Elements. The second year covers modern mathematics, tracing the development of algebra and calculus and examining questions raised at the turn of the twentieth century about the foundations of mathematics View more details on Gutenberg College .
