Course Catalogue Description:

In an age when we are bombarded with numbers, it is important to explore what stories are being told and how the numbers we observe are being formulated. We will investigate the interdisciplinary nature of dealing with numbers, considering a variety of disciplines and applications to life. Topics we will explore include social justice, journalism, disease outbreaks, politics, and more. Students will be encouraged to choose a field which interests them, then explore the field's use of numbers to communicate findings. Together we will examine various uses of numbers, looking for similarities and differences. Students will learn some basic analysis tools used across many disciplines, allowing students to understand presented results. Additionally, students will learn about different basic methods to create their own numbers, models, and analyses. With these skills students will then formulate their own findings, creating their own interdisciplinary work.
