LANGUAGE AND METHODS OF MATHEMATIC
The JMM course is part of the micro-certificate program Development of Mathematical Thinking, which aims to develop and consolidate students’ mathematical thinking and familiarize them with the language of mathematics and its basic analytical and numerical methods through two sub-courses (JMM and UMV). The course can also be taken independently.
AIM OF THE SUBJECT:
The JMM course will introduce basic mathematical concepts, the symbolic language of mathematics, and its usual procedures. Students will learn the basics of mathematical logic and the logical structure of mathematics from axioms to theorems. The basic types of mathematical proofs will be analyzed in detail, and the significance of examples and counterexamples in the construction of mathematical theory will be explained. The importance of human intuition, sketches (images), and experiments in constructing exact theory will also be discussed. The possibility of using computers in mathematics as a computational tool, an experimental tool, and a full-fledged means of proof will be explained in detail. The fundamental difference between these three uses will be explained using examples.
