This course deals with science and technology and their interactions with social, cultural, political, and economic contexts that shape and are shaped by them. It designed to enable students to appreciate the societal impact of developments in science and technology at the local and global contexts, This includes a review of the history of science and technology globally - from prehistoric era all the way to today's advances in science and technology - and similarity in the Philippines, including science policy. The historical survey, which is grounded on an understanding of basic science concepts, will examine how these developments have affected the course of human society: political, economically, and socially. It focuses on current issues arising from the application of science and technology, how such applications relate to ethical and political decisions in both the public and private sector, and their effects (positive and negative) on society and life in general (CMO 20 S. 2013).
This course deals with 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 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 aesthetic 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 design, 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. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013)
