Introduction
Mathematics formed an important part of the ‘original liberal arts’, as four of the seven units of study (the quadrivium) have a numerical character – arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music. Mathematics has plainly had a huge impact on our grasp of knowledge and truth. It is a vital basis of scientific understanding and investigation as well as a valuable means of developing logical thought, the skills of precise analysis, and universal conceptions about the natural order.
Mathematics units at Campion cover both pure and applied mathematics. They offer insight into the historical and philosophical background, the nature of mathematics and current issues such as social aspects and statistical thinking. Their overall purposes are to give students the opportunity to develop habits of objective investigation and analysis whilst learning different approaches to problem-solving.
