Course content | This course uses a variety of topics in mathematics to introduce the students to rigorous mathematical proof, emphasizing quantifiers, induction, negation, proof by contradiction, naive set theory, equivalence relations and epsilon-delta proofs. Required of all departmental majors. |
Formal prerequesite | Math 18 or Math 20F or Math 31AH, and Math 20C. Students who have not completed listed prerequisites may enroll with consent of instructor. |
Homework information | Homework will announced on Fridays. Homework must be submitted to the mailboxes on Friday's before noon. No homework will be accepted in class. All submissions must be in handed-in in handwritten form. |
Homework Philosophy | The homework is the most important part of the course. Along with more straightforward problems designed to solidify the basic definitions and concepts, the homework will contain some problems which you might find difficult and are meant to challenge you. Don't worry if you get stuck; the process of thinking hard about a problem and trying different ideas is extremely valuable in itself and important in developing mathematical maturity. Of course, working through the homework is also vital for exam preparation. |
Collaboration Policy | You are welcome to discuss lecture material and homework problems with other students at the stage when you are still formulating ideas. This may be especially useful if, for example, you are confused about definitions or what the problem is asking. The write-up you hand in should be your work alone in your own words, however, and should be written while you are by yourself. While it is also fine to seek hints from classmates that have figured out problems on which you are stuck, you will learn the most if you think about these problems hard on your own first and don't give up too quickly. |
Academic Integrity | Every student is expected to conduct themselves with academic integrity. Violations of academic integrity will be treated seriously. See http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/manual/Appendices/app2.htm for UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship. |
