Introduces elements of mathematical proof, focusing on the various forms and methods, including direct proof; indirect proof; existence and uniqueness proofs; mathematical induction; strong induction. Proof methods are applied to mathematical statements taken from number theory, geometry, and calculus. Develops the tools, terminology, and symbols of advanced mathematics including deductive logic, sets, functions, equivalence relations, number systems, and cardinality of sets.(Prereq: MATH 151 and MATH 170)
