MAT 450SR - Mathematical Minds

(3 credits)
This course will provide you with a survey of some of the fascinating and critical ideas in mathematics, including historical proofs of some results which are familiar to you through your previous mathematical study as well as some results which will be new to you. We will also spend a significant amount of time discussing connections between mathematics and the Christian faith, and we’ll take a look into the background of the mathematically and scientifically significant number 0, which has had its own theological issues. And you’ll explore the contributions of the various parts of your college experience to the goals of the NWCore program and your progress in establishing personal commitments and a sense of vocation.

Prerequisites: C- or better in MAT211 or permission of instructor.
