| 520 | |a "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. 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: 1) An introduction to logic and set theory. 2) Proof methods as a vehicle leading to topics useful for analysis, topology, algebra, and probability. 3) Many illustrated examples, often drawing on what students already know, that minimize conversation about "doing proofs." 4) An appendix that provides an annotated rubric with feedback codes for assessing proof writing. Part II presents the context and culture aspects of the transition experience, including: 1) 21st century mathematics, including the current mathematical culture, vocations, and careers. 2) History and philosophical issues in mathematics. 3) Approaching, reading, and learning from journal articles and other primary sources. 4) Mathematical writing and typesetting in LaTeX. Together, these Parts provide a complete introduction to modern mathematics, both in content and practice"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
