Description: Discovering Higher Mathematics is intended for use in so-called "bridge" or transition courses designed to prepare students for the abstraction of higher mathematics. Students in these courses have normally completed the calculus sequence and are planning to take advanced mathematics courses such as algebra, analysis, and topology. The transition course is taken to prepare students for these courses by introducing them to the processes of conjecture and proof concepts which are typically not emphasized in calculus but which are critical components of advanced courses. Discovering Higher Mathematics will emphasize four main themes which are the essential components of higher mathematics: experimentation, conjecture, proof, and generalization. The book is written in an interactive, workbook style that encourages students to experiment and conjecture results.
