MAT 2800 Writing Mathematical Proofs
This course serves as a bridge between Calculus and more abstract upper-level mathematics courses like Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra. Students are first introduced to logic and basic concepts in writing mathematical proofs. Then topics such as sets, induction, relations, partitions, functions, and sequences provide experience in constructing proofs.
