Articles: Introduction to Proof

Fall 2007



Articles will be posted occasionally throughout the semester, or you may find your own. Two good places to look are The College Mathematics Journal and Mathematics Magazine, both published by the MAA (Mathematical Association of America) and available in the Library and electronically from on campus. To find these articles electronically, go to the Library homepage, search the databases, and search MathSciNet. From there you can either search for the journal, author, or specific title of the article.
