MA 225 Writing Mathematics: A Transition to Higher Mathematics
This is the Computer Science and Mathematics Department’s research writing (RW) course. Intended for second-semester sophomores, it focuses on helping students gain facility with the two major types of mathematical writing: clear, concise proofs written for other mathematicians; and explanations of mathematics aimed at non-technical audiences. Writing mathematics is not easily separated from the process of doing mathematics, so while writing takes center stage throughout the course, there are a number of important mathematical concepts that also are covered. Exposure to these topics and the ability to express them clearly will serve students well in all future higher-level math coursework.
Prerequisite: EN 101 and MA 221 .
