MTH 8 Transition to Higher Math

The goal of this course is to ease the transition from lower-division mathematics courses to upper-division mathematics courses. In this course students will gain experience working with abstract ideas at a nontrivial level and understanding and writing proofs, in order to achieve the sophisticated blend of knowledge discipline, and creativity that we call 'mathematical maturity." Topics include logic finite and infinite sets, functions, and problem solving. Prerequisite: MTH 5A
