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.
