Chapter 5 and 6 of How to study as a Mathematics Major
These two chapters are about proof and this discussion board question will ask you to reflect on your experiences with proof.
Discuss your experiences in high school with proof by describing the overall expectations that you were required to have with proofs, your experience with proofs while learning and reading mathematics, and your thoughts about whether proofs should be a part of high school mathematics. Give examples as much as possible.
Discuss your experiences with proof as an early college student by describing the overall expectations that you were required to have with proofs, your experience with proofs while learning and reading mathematics, and your thoughts about whether proofs should be a part early on in college mathematics. Give examples as much as possible.
Discuss moving forward in your college career with regards to prove. What have you learned this semester that will serve you well moving forward? What are some issues with proofs you are still struggling with and how will you approach overcoming these issues moving forward? Do you have a different view about proofs after this class? Why or Why not? Finally, how will your background with proofs serve you as you move forward in future mathematics classes? Provide examples as appropriate.
