MTH 210: Transition to Abstract Mathematics
An introduction to abstract mathematical thought, with emphasis on understanding and applying definitions, writing arguments to prove valid statements, and providing counterexamples to disprove invalid ones. Topics may include logic, introductory set theory, and elementary number theory, but the focus is on the process of reasoning rather than any particular subject or subdiscipline. It is strongly recommended that mathematics majors complete this course by the end of the sophomore year. Prerequisite: MTH 122 (Calculus II).
