Course Description:
This course deals with methods of proof and the nature of mathematical argument and abstraction. With a variety of results from modern and classical mathematics as a backdrop, we will study the roles of definition, example, and counterexample, as well as mathematical argument by induction, deduction, construction, and contradiction. This course is required for all students majoring in either mathematics or applied mathematics. This course is recommended for distribution credit only for non-majors with a strong mathematical background. |
