About

We will learn about the fundamentals of mathematical proofs. We will cover the following major topics:
  • sets, which all of mathematics can be expressed as
  • logic, which allows the thinking behind proofs
  • proof strategies, including proof by contradiction, using cases, the pigeonhole principle, and many more.
This series is for you if you are strong with algebra and are interested in getting into mathematical proofs.

I took a semester-long course called Intro to Mathematical Proofs at my school where I learned important, foundational concepts in math proofs. I have taken numerous exams and completed many projects where I demonstrated high proficiency in class content. I really enjoyed the course and I'm excited to help you learn the basics of proofs!
