MATH 15600 - Introduction to Mathematical Proof Workshop

Techniques of proof will be introduced, among them the direct and indirect methods of proof, epsilon-delta arguments and induction. These will be applied to theorems in number theory, set theory and in differential and integral calculus.
In planning their schedules, prospective majors should note that some advanced required courses are offered only once each year and several advanced elective courses are offered only once every other year. A rotation schedule for course offerings is available in the department office and on the departmental web site.
