We have elections because we don't all think alike. Since we cannot all have things our way, we vote. But voting is only the first half of the story. The second half of the story - the counting - that is at the heart of the democratic process. How well does the process work? Is the process always fair? Another topic we discuss is a fair division. The problem of dividing an object or a set of objects among the member of a group is a practical problem that comes up regularly in our daily lives. We look at fair division from a mathematical perspective. Course Types: Critical Analysis; Foundational Gen Ed; Mathematics;
MAT 188 is a hybrid history and math lab (we will be covering more history than math) centered on the U.S. Constitution and apportionment. More specifically, we will analyze why the U.S. Constitution was created, the debates surrounding the U.S. Constitution in 1787-88, historical and contemporary issues linked to the U.S. Constitution, and the different methods used to determine the number of seats each state receives in the House of Representatives.

The course emphasizes the essential role of critical and creative thinking to their lives as students, citizens, future professionals, and productive members of their communities. The lab for the course is an interdisciplinary application lab, wherein students work in teams to demonstrate what they learned in the didactic portion of the course through the creation of a project, presentation, art object/installation, play, podcast, short film, co-authored reflection (debrief) on a simulation experience, etc. Faculty who design the didactic portion of the course together will design this portion as a 5-week experiential component of the course, which might include community partnerships or field trips. Students who take the course and lab will be invited to display their project results in a one-afternoon presentation at the end of each semester (to be arranged by college events personnel).
