- Summary:
-
Technological advances during the past few decades have revolutionized many complex systems that influence human activity. As the rate of technological progress accelerates, these systems will become more complex, and new ones will evolve. Citizens in a technological society need to be able to make intelligent choices about how technology will affect their lives. This requires a better understanding of the technology itself; its potential and its limitations. This is a module for a course designed to introduce students, particularly those not majoring in the sciences or mathematics, to technological concepts. Written for students with no background in probability, this module introduces the fundamental concepts through an extensive series of examples carefully selected to match student interests and to establish the foundation for later applied mathematics (e.g., queuing) or technology studies.
