Math 103 is a graduation requirement for many non-science majors at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The course tries to show students interesting mathematics, much of it developed only relatively recently, in contexts which are relevant to individuals who do not necessarily have strong interests in the sciences. These topics include the mathematics of voting, weighted voting systems, fair division, apportionment, Euler circuits, the Traveling Salesman Problem, networks, scheduling, and exponential growth in nature and finance. There is currently an honors version of Math 103 which deals with the mathematics and public policy issues related to cryptography. This Web page deals only with the non-honors version of the course.

The following link gives the suggested syllabus for the Fall/Spring semesters in addition to other useful course material.
Please note: ultimate authority rests with the individual instructor. The syllabus distributed in class takes precedence over the one posted on this web site.
