An exploration into several mathematical topics not covered in MATH 40, 45, 50, or 61, chosen by the instructor, to give an appreciation of what mathematics is about. Only a background in high school algebra is needed, yet the topics are covered in sufficient depth to show the power and beauty of mathematics. Possible topics include: problem solving, number theory, graph theory, voting models, fair division, symmetry, fractals, Fibonacci numbers, consumer mathematics, games and puzzles.
