ABSTRACT

For desirable education of liberal arts mathematics in universities, there is a need for research on the development of subjects that can reduce resistance to mathematics, induce interest in mathematics, and recognize the necessity and role of mathematics for university students in all fields, especially in the humanities and social sciences. In this study, we propose mathematical theories applied to reveal the structure of a virus as the content of the liberal arts mathematics course. This is a topic that can meet the recent social needs related to COVID-19, and cultivate insight through interdisciplinary studies. At the end, some challenges to consider when this topic is actually taught in liberal arts mathematics class are discussed.
