Proof Writing Workshop

If you're taking your first proof-based math course or just want to improve your proof-writing skills, sign up for our Introduction to Proofs workshop! Learning how to write proofs takes time and practice, and this workshop is a great opportunity to get more familiar with how to go about writing proofs. The lessons will have a mix of lectures and exercises to try yourself with help of the TA's, so you'll get lots of practice and constructive advice. There will be two sessions each week each covering the same material so you can attend whichever works best for your schedule, and the workshops will go for the first 4 weeks of classes. They'll be held on Saturdays from 12-2 pm and Tuesdays from 6-8 pm in Math 507 , starting on Saturday, September 7 and going through Tuesday, October 1 . We'll give an overview of mathematical logic, different types of proofs, and discuss good mathematical practices that'll help you succeed and get the most out of your classes. There'll also be food!
