Code(Credit) : CUTM1538(3-0-1)

Course Objectives

  • A major objective is to introduce students to the language and precision of modern algebra. This means that the course will be proof-based, in the sense that students will be expected to understand, construct, and write proofs.
  • A challenge for all students of mathematics is to balance the understanding with the communication. There is a tendency to think you are finished once you see why a mathematical statement is true or false.
