Proof & Math Modeling

Catalog description

Proof by contradiction, contrapositive, and induction will be explored along with direct proof in the verification of conjectures and other mathematical propositions. Additionally, the formulation of discrete, statistical and algebraic mathematical models, along with their use in solving problems, will be studied. Appropriate educational technology, including graphing calculators, spreadsheets, and geometric manipulation software, will be used throughout. Prerequisites: EDU-2800 Principles of Mathematics II; GMTH-1020 College Algebra.
