MATH 210 - Introduction to Proof

Unit(s): 1

Introduction to propositional logic and methods of proof, including direct proof, indirect proof, proof by “pick-a-point,” and proof by mathematical induction. Students construct and analyze conjectures and counterexamples, and analyze and write proofs. Topics will include basic set theory, function theory, and equivalence relations, and may include examples from elementary number theory, algebra, and geometry. Does not count toward the Mathematics major, but Satisfies the MATH 220 prerequisite for certain upper-division mathematics courses.

Grading: Cr/NC only.
Prerequisite(s): GE math and consent of instructor.
