The primary text for this course is Math in Society by David Lippman. Portions of the primary course text have been remixed and adapted Kiel Ellis, of Delgado Community College. 

This is a course in modern mathematics. Students will be exploring a number of concepts that have been developed fairly recently in the mathematical world, along with some more traditional ones. There are more topics in the course than are typically covered in a term. It has been designed so that faculty can select the topics they would like to teach and hide the rest. Many of these topics will be explored in the context of their applications. The purpose of this course is to expose students to the wider world of mathematical thinking. Students will experience the power of quantitative thinking and the power of numbers in solving and dealing with real-world scenarios. The goal is for students to understand that there is more to mathematics than expressions and equations.
