Mathematics

Proofs and Mathematical Thinking

Prerequisite

Algebra II

Purpose

This course introduces the student to several major areas of mathematical reasoning: set theory, number theory, algebraic theory, and real number analysis. Students learn to understand and direct the flow of thought required to do a proof, and practice proofs each week, both in class and outside of class. A major emphasis is placed on logical reasoning and the sequential flow of implication.

Curriculum

All course materials will be provided by the instructor at no charge.
