This series of 5 workshops will investigate how mathematics is used every day. While you may not see it being used, math is all around us. From the way your GPS routes your car to a submarine’s navigation below the surface of the ocean to weighing your produce at the grocery store. Have you ever wondered how video games and computer animation “move” objects around a screen? Explore some of the mathematical ideas that are essential to current every day technologies.
This course meets once a week from 5 - 6:30 for five weeks and is taught by CMU Faculty member Dr. Doug Lapp from the Mathematics Department.
