MAT 302 - Mathematics and Social Justice

Institution:

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

In this course we will explore several social issues and we will discuss methods which can quantitatively illustrate that are taking place. By doing so, the hope is that each student will learn mathematical skills and techniques. This tool kit of basic mathematical skills is often referred to as Quantitative Literacy (QL). Moreover as attainment of QL is itself a social justice issue, we will explore ways to carry these skills to historically marginalized groups through service learning projects.
