MAT 211 - Introduction to Mathematical Proofs


(Formerly MAT 210)

This course will focus on what a mathematical proof is. Topics include the building blocks of logic and set theory, as well as different proof techniques. These techniques include direct proof, proof by contradiction, and induction. A variety of subjects will be used to draw examples from, including Calculus and Number Theory. This course is strongly recommended to be taken as an introduction to higher level mathematics courses and will be most helpful when taken as a sophomore.
