Introduction to Mathematical Thinking
Keith Devlin
Learn how to think the way mathematicians do - a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. First Problem Set released Look top right. This is the first graded assignment. At the end of Lecture 2, I say that Problem Sets are due in by noon the following Wednesday. After I recorded that, we had to change the schedule to require submission by the Tuesday at noon. Sorry about that. -- KD Fri 21 Sep 2012 1:48:00 PM PDT
Assignments: #2 just released Assignment 2 (from Lecture 2) can now be found on the "Course assignments" page. (See the left-hand navigation column.) Every lecture has an associated assignment, released at noon that day. Please look at the "Course assignments" page after each lecture, to find its assignment. Remember, although the assignments are not graded, working on them (coupled with the forum discussions they generate) forms the central part of this course. The lectures play a minor role. No one ever learned to think mathematically by sitting in a lecture, even less by watching one on a screen. The lectures merely set the agenda, give a bit of context and motivation, and provide some examples of mathematical thinking. Recognizing this fact is a key to success (or even survival) at university-level mathematics. --
