historical, and scientific applications of mathematics. Topics will include the
development of the set of real numbers, number theory, geometric figures in the plane and
in space, and measurement, including area and volume. Mathematical ideas will be developed
in a lab setting using technology and physical models to motivate and assist the more
formal development. Not for math majors.
