IIS 160 PZ -Decolonization from Below
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Hearing the demands and desires of those “from below,” those blocked from social mobility, introduces
students to decolonizing practices developed not by activists from the global north but by subalterns. We will
encounter both rural illiterate residents of the global south in history and fiction from India and North Africa to
the Americas, and also the subaltern as the erasure by modern universalized generalizations through their
inevitable exclusions. Refusing these exclusions makes the subaltern recognizable under Eurocentric modernity
and gives their demands traction, opening ways to decolonization as responsibility to those who generally go
unheard in the society and academy of the global north.
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

MATH 001 PZ -Mathematics, Philosophy and the “Real World.”
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Throughout history, mathematics has changed the way people look at the world. This course will focus on two examples: Euclidean geometry (which suggested to philosophers that certainty was achievable by human thought) and probability and statistics (which gave scientists a way of dealing with events that did not seem to follow any laws but those of chance). Readings and problems will be taken from three types of sources: (1) Euclid’s Elements of Geometry; (2) modern elementary works on probability and its applications to the study of society and to gambling; (3) the writings of philosophers whose views were strongly influenced by mathematics, such as Plato, Aristotle, Pascal, Spinoza, Kant, Laplace, Helmholtz, and Thomas Jefferson.
Prerequisite(s): High school algebra and geometry. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.

MATH 010 PZ -The Mathematical Mystery Tour
Institution: Pitzer
Description: I saw a high wall and as I had a premonition of an enigma, something that might be hidden behind the wall, I climbed over it with some difficulty. However, on the other side I landed in a wilderness and had to cut my way through with a great effort until-by a circuitous route-I came to the open gate, the open gate of mathematics. From there well-trodden paths lead in every direction (M.C. Escher).
Many beautiful and exciting topics in mathematics are accessible to students having only a minimal background in mathematics.
Mathematics 10 is intended to introduce such students to areas of mathematics not included in the usual introductory courses for mathematics and science majors.

Courses that have been taught as Mathematics 10 courses in the recent past, or which are likely to be offered in the near future, include:
- Rubik’s Cube and Other Mathematical Puzzles,
- Two-Player Games,
- The Mathematics of Gambling,
- Cartography,
