MA 226 Writing Mathematics: An Abbreviated Transition to Higher Mathematics

(2 credits)
MA226 is an abbreviated version of MA 225 . It is intended for second-semester sophomores and 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 nontechnical audiences. Important mathematical concepts are also covered. Main difference with MA 225 : the number of mathematical concepts covered, which is less in MA226. Math majors must take MA 225 .

Prerequisite: EN 101  and MA 221 .
