This course provides a gateway into the more abstract and theoretical expectations of upper-level mathematics courses. The course includes a brief introduction of set theory, symbolic logic, complex numbers, and relations especially as they apply to proof. The course also introduces methods of mathematical proof such as direct proof, indirect proof, proof by contradiction, and proof by induction.
