A First Course in Linear Algebra
linear.ups.eduas a rigorous mathematical subject. Besides computational pro ciency, there is an emphasis on understanding de nitions and theorems, as well as reading, understand-ing and creating proofs. A strictly logical organization, complete and exceedingly detailed proofs of every theorem, advice on techniques for reading and writing proofs,

web.pdx.eduground in all sorts of things: quanti ers, logical connectives, set operations, writing proofs, the arithmetic and order properties of the real numbers, mathematical induction, least upper bounds, functions, composition of functions, images and inverse images of sets under functions, nite and in nite sets, countable and uncountable sets.
Theory of Statistics
mason.gmu.eduPreface: Mathematical Statistics After teaching mathematical statistics for several years using chalk on a black-board (and, later, smelly “dry erase markers” on a whiteboard) mostly doing proofs of theorems, I decided to lecture from computer slides that provide an outline of the “big picture”. Rather than spend class time “doing ...
A GUIDE TO PROOFS IN LINEAR ALGEBRA
www.vcccd.eduLogical deduction was the fourth element in our list of ingredients for writing proofs. Much of our logical structure is buried in the development of axiomatic structure and set theory. From this we get the theorems we’ve previously developed in mathematics such as Euclidean geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
Logic, Sets, and Proofs
www.amherst.eduLogic, Sets, and Proofs David A. Cox and Catherine C. McGeoch Amherst College 1 Logic Logical Operators. A logical statement is a mathematical statement that can be assigned a value either true or false. Here we denote logical statements with capital letters A,B. Logical statements be combined with the following operators to form new logical ...

For example, defining the natural numbers is an important and non-trivial accomplishment of mathematics. After all, what do these symbols “1”, “2”, “3 ...

jmlr.csail.mit.eduMathematical Writing by Donald E. Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul M. Roberts This report is based on a course of the same name given at Stanford University during autumn quarter, 1987. Here’s the catalog description: CS209. Mathematical Writing—Issues of technical writing and the ef-fective presentation of mathematics and computer science.
Mathematical induction & Recursion
people.cs.pitt.eduMathematical induction • Used to prove statements of the form x P(x) where x Z+ Mathematical induction proofs consists of two steps: 1) Basis: The proposition P(1) is true. 2) Inductive Step: The implication P(n) P(n+1), is true for all positive n. • Therefore we conclude x P(x).
