X Course Description:

This course deals with the nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual and aesthetic dimensions, and
application of mathematical 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 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.

XII Course Policies:

Attendance. According to Student Handbook Sec 1.1 Attendance & Punctuality, students who have incurred 5 accumulated unexcused absences of
the required total number of class periods in a given semester shall be dropped from that particular class. Absences due to illness should be
supported by a medical certificate signed by the attending physician. Students who have incurred 3 accumulated late are equated to 1 absent.

Submission of Home Work Activities. Homework is to be submitted on the following class meeting while Problem Set may be submitted as
scheduled. Late submission is discouraged.

Language of Instruction. The chief medium of instruction will be in English.

Decorum. Students are expected to be in their school uniform and in their respective seats during the class period. Transferring of one seat to
another means absence.

URS-1SY-GEC-004 REV: 00 EFFECTIVITY DATE: JULY 29, 2019
Other Policies. As provided in the Student Handbook, a student may be given a Special Examination only for valid reason/s. Hence, there will be
NO Special Quiz nor Special Recitation nor Special Problem Set nor Special Term Requirement to be extended among students. Policies on
Conditional Grade and Incomplete Grade shall be based on the Student Handbook Sections 2.2 – 2.3.

XIII. Grading System

QUIZZES = 20% RECITATION = 20% PROBLEM SET = 20% TERM EXAMINATION = 40% TOTAL = 100%

XIV. Course Requirements : As stipulated in the Student Handbook, term examination will be 40 percent of a student grade. Formative
Tests or Quizzes,
Recitation (written/oral) and Submission of Problem Set/Homework/Term Requirement/ Survey Operations may
likewise be conducted all for 60 percent.
Survey shall be a final requirement of the course.
