For a one-quarter/semester, sophomore-level transitional (bridge) course that supplies background for students going from calculus to the more abstract, upper-division mathematics courses. Also appropriate as a supplement for junior-level courses such as abstract algebra or real analysis. Focused on What Every Mathematician Needs to Know, this text provides material necessary for students to succeed in upper-division mathematics courses, and more importantly, the analytical tools necessary for thinking like a mathematician. It begins with a natural progression from elementary logic, methods of proof, and set theory, to relations and functions; then provides application examples, theorems, and student projects.Barnier, William J. is the author of 'Introduction to Advanced Mathematics', published 1999 under ISBN 9780130167507 and ISBN 0130167509.
