Foundations of Mathematics

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for signing up for the course. Due to illness, today's class is canceled.

 

Please look at this brief presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18gsHGWu-8fVxG_4xqAMWPLPXoCJVP6RucpzOmmpzRWY/edit?usp=sharing  for information about the course.

 

By Monday, please take a look at the material on vectors and linear equations as listed in the syllabus https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M8a0vVYzss5CYGzF5YOpvOzvnheH11EEnokeyusT3UA/edit?usp=sharing

On Monday, we'll answer questions and practice these topics.

I'd recommend starting by watching the videos, and then looking into the listed chapters from the notes and M&T. The latter are dense and may be difficult reading at this point, but getting used to reading dense math-y text will be one of the things you'll get out of this class. Your efforts will pay off later in seminars, where you'll often face math-heavy research papers.

 

See you all on Monday, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

 

Best,

Michael
