MATH-2700

Fundamentals of Mathematics

This course is designed to assist students who will be taking 4000-level advanced mathematics courses. The main emphasis is on the development of sound mathematical reasoning and construction of solid mathematical proofs. Mathematical ideas and concepts from the foundations of the number system, set theory, logic, algebra, and elementary topology are selected as illustrations. Students are challenged to develop their own conceptual understanding of the mathematical proof, and to defend their mathematical positions. Prerequisite: math major or permission of instructor, and MATH-1020. Spring term annually.
