Students are introduced to mathematics at the university level by learning some fundamental concepts of mathematics in a rigorous manner, using theorems and proofs. The topics in the course are vital for subsequent mathematics courses. Topics include propositional logic, properties of integers, relations and functions, mathematical induction and recurrence relations, axiomatic set theory, inclusion/exclusion and pigeonhole principles, and cardinality. This course is intended for students who plan to major in Mathematics or a combined Mathematics major. Prerequisites: MATH 1140 with a minimum grade of C- or MATH 1141 with a minimum grade of C- or permission of the instructor/chair. Exclusion: Students will only receive credit for one of MATH 1700, MATH 1701, MATH 1390 or COMP 1390.
