Abstract
These activities and exercises are most appropriate for Humanities and Law students, but the
contexts used should be of interest to any citizen. The mathematical content covered does
not include data analysis, statistics and probability. Understanding these topics is essential
for quantitative literacy, but are not included here. Thus these materials do not provide the
basis of a complete quantitative literacy course, but cover the work of approximately one
semester in a first year programme.
