Introduction to Mathematical Proof

Students will develop their proof-writing skills, learning to write clear and correct mathematical arguments. Students will master a variety of proof methods and styles in the context of a variety of mathematical topics, such as elementary number theory, discrete mathematics, combinatorics, geometry, graph theory, game theory, set theory, real analysis, or other topics chosen by the instructor. Students will be expected to explore open-ended problems, and prove or disprove their own and others’ conjectures.
