Title
Applications über alles: mathematics for the liberal arts
Abstract
This paper presents a fresh approach to a general education mathematics course. The basic idea is to turn the customary mathematics class on its head by focusing on applications first, through a reading of articles from magazines and newspapers, and then turning to the technical mathematical details. A description of the topics that were covered in my course, along with references to various publications, is given. A course such as this one is important because it conveys how mathematics is serving the goals of society. © 1994 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
