Course Credit: 1
(EDUC, MACS)
TRANSITION TO ADVANCED MATHEMATICS This is a transition course from the primarily computational and algorithmic mathematics found in calculus to the more theoretical and abstract mathematics in the 300-level mathematics courses. The emphasis is on developing the skills and tools needed to read and write proofs, and to understand their importance in mathematics. The course examines topics such as set theory and logic, mathematical induction, and a number of other proof techniques. Prerequisite(s): MATH-11500; (or MATH-10800 or MATH-11100); minimum grade C- or better; or AP/equivalent credit. [MNS, W]
