A Transition to Advanced Mathematics: A Survey Course promotes the goals of a “transition” course in mathematics, helping to lead students from courses in the calculus sequence to theoretical upper-level mathematics courses. The text simultaneously promotes the goals of a “survey” course, describing the intriguing questions and insights fundamental to many diverse areas of mathematics. Its only prerequisite is single variable calculus, and there are many chapters, such as chapters 1, 2, 3, and 6, that do not even require calculus.Ahallmark of the book is its flexibility—an instructor may choose to use the text in a variety of ways. The standard adoption would be for a transition course, but this text could also be used in other settings. | |
