Sociocultural Foundations of Mathematics, Data Science, and Computing- MDC1213
Catalog entry
Prerequisite: None.
Content: This introductory survey course for freshmen aims to explore the connections between mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on their roles in shaping and understanding human culture and experience. Students will be guided through a series of 30 lessons that delve into the ways these fields intersect with ideas, values, beliefs, and other cultural aspects, fostering aesthetic and intellectual creation. Throughout the course, students will have access to the GPT-4 language model to assist with content generation and idea exploration.
This course is intended to be part of the core curriculum in the area “Language, Philosophy and Culture (040)” (3 semester credit hours). Courses in this category focus on how ideas, values, beliefs, and other aspects of culture express and affect human experience. This requirement involves the exploration of ideas that foster aesthetic and intellectual creation in order to understand the human condition across cultures.
Lesson Overview
Through these lessons, students will gain a foundational understanding of the intersections between mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence, as well as their impact on the human experience across cultures. By leveraging GPT-4 for content generation and idea exploration, students will develop the skills necessary to engage with these fields in a culturally sensitive and ethically responsible manner.
