Text:               Introduction to Mathematical Thinking by Gilbert and Vanstone

Material:         Chapters 1-6, and parts of other chapters as time permits.

Grading:          Homework                               30%

                        Final Exam                             30%

Objectives:  This course provides a bridge between lowere level computational courses and upper level courses in which proofs and mathematical thinking are emphasized. We will also use this course to go over topics which will come up in your 4000-level courses, such as induction and complex numbers, that you may have seen before, but perhaps not in sufficient depth.

Policy:             I don't accept late homework or give makeup exams. Although you are permitted to discuss homework with other students, you are expected to write up your assignments individually. Referring to another student’s written work while writing yours, writing up homework together, or allowing another student to copy your written work, constitutes academic dishonesty. "All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense." See especially sections 5 and 7 of:

 Final Exam: Mon., May 7 12:00 - 3:00 pm
