MATH 314

Credit: 4 hours.

Skills and techniques necessary to identify valid mathematical proofs and to produce valid mathematical proofs. Students will also be exposed to beginning ideas in several advanced mathematical topics, including modular arithmetic, group theory, combinatorial reasoning, solving equations, epsilon-delta arguments, and limits. This course is particularly focused on students who have no prior proof-writing experience; students with prior proof-writing experience, or with less need for training in writing proofs, should consider MATH 347 instead.

Credit is not given toward graduation for both MATH 314 and MATH 347. Prerequisite: MATH 241.
