An introductory course designed to teach the fundamental concepts and techniques of mathematical proofs.
Proof-like reasoning isn’t just for math class—it’s everywhere!
When you plan your day, you might reason: "If I finish my homework, then I can play video games." You're using logic!
Evaluating whether a claim is trustworthy uses logical steps: "If that were true, then X would happen, but it hasn't, so maybe it's not true."
Learning proofs trains your brain to ask "Why?" and look for solid evidence before believing something.
Deciding if someone's story makes sense based on facts you know.
Checking if a rumor at school could really be true.
