The history of mathematics

Course Description

In high school, we studied the connections between physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science in "Science and Daily Human Life." This course will briefly address mathematics as presented on the back of the cover of the textbook and in each chapter. Focusing on the three course themes, students will investigate the knowledge that humanity has accumulated through group work (GW) and share their findings within their groups.
