MATH1601: Mathematics - from the Renaissance to Modern Day
hands down the best unit i have ever done across any of my three tertiary qualifications it was so interesting and fun and v accessible even if you don’t have a lot of background in maths (disclaimer: I did but the prof just adapted things to challenge me a bit more) but honestly we had italian renaissance artwork / projective geometry, game theory, encryption, i got to do a research report on current encryption vs post-quantum cryptography which essentially launched my cybersecurity career like ?????? and this was an elective that the professor was teaching just because he loved it and it got canned for future semesters by the uni bc they didn’t see the value in a non-compulsory maths unit and I am so disappointed that no one after our cohort got to experience the joy of watching this maths professor explain public key encryption using lego under a digital overhead display to a room full of people from tons of different majors
can't do this one as a poll bc there's endless choices but if you're in college/university or went to college/university what's been the most fun/enriching class you've had?
