Mathematical Proofs ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Advanced mathematics requires creativity in analyzing why theorems are correct, reading their proofs, and creating proofs for additional theorems. This study is designed to provide the tools to analyze proofs and to present the advanced concepts in accord with mathematical conventions. The study includes sentential logic, logic of quantifiers, proof strategies, biconditionals, existence and uniqueness proofs, relations, functions and inductive proofs. This study is appropriate for students who need general education credit in mathematics. Prerequisites: Discrete Math MATH 3015 .
