Transition to Advanced Mathematics: Textbooks in Mathematics
Autor Danilo R. Diedrichs, Stephen Lovetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2024
The authors implement the practice recommended by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) curriculum guide, that a modern mathematics program should include cognitive goals and offer a broad perspective of the discipline.
Part I offers:
- An introduction to logic and set theory.
- Proof methods as a vehicle leading to topics useful for analysis, topology, algebra, and probability.
- Many illustrated examples, often drawing on what students already know, that minimize conversation about "doing proofs."
- An appendix that provides an annotated rubric with feedback codes for assessing proof writing.
- 21st century mathematics, including the current mathematical culture, vocations, and careers.
- History and philosophical issues in mathematics.
- Approaching, reading, and learning from journal articles and other primary sources.
- Mathematical writing and typesetting in LaTeX.

Descriere
This unique and contemporary text not only offers an introduction to proofs with a view towards algebra and analysis, a standard fare for a transition course, but also presents practical skills for upper-level mathematics coursework and exposes undergraduate students to the context and culture of contemporary mathematics.
