MATH 3040
Course Description
Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog.
In mathematics, the methodology of proof provides a central tool for confirming the validity of mathematical assertions, functioning much as the experimental method does in the physical sciences. In this course, students learn various methods of mathematical proof, starting with basic techniques in propositional and predicate calculus and in set theory and combinatorics, and then moving to applications and illustrations of these via topics in one or more of the three main pillars of mathematics: algebra, analysis, and geometry. Since cogent communication of mathematical ideas is important in the presentation of proofs, the course emphasizes clear, concise exposition.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2210, MATH 2230, MATH 2940, or equivalent.
Distribution Category (MQR-AS, SMR-AS)
