MAT 602 - Math and Your Vote

Credits: 3

Inquiry-based exploration of the mathematics behind voting and decision procedures in the social sciences. Focuses on actual examples of how we make decisions and vote, from the presidency to town meeting, from how the electoral college is organized to gerrymandering. The level of mathematics should provide many opportunities to connect to interdisciplinary lesson-planning at the middle and high school levels.
