Prerequisite(s): Grade of "C" or better in MATH 2200 Foundations of Modern Mathematics or permission of the instructor.
(Normally offered each fall semester.)
MATH 2200 Foundations of Modern Mathematics (3 hours)
A course on the essential techniques of mathematical proof, such as case analysis, contradiction, and induction. Proofs will be written in the context of mathematical foundations (logic, sets, functions, etc.). Emphasis will be placed on developing the ability to write clear and precise arguments, which is useful for students in any major.
Prerequisite(s): Grade of "C" or better in MATH 1600 Calculus I or permission of the instructor.
(Normally offered each spring semester.)
