This course is the foundation for junior college mathematics courses. It is the bridge from the concrete to the abstract study of mathematics. Topics include binary operations, the real number system, Factor Theorem, Remainder Theorem, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, transformations, modulus functions, cubic functions and equations. Additionally, this course will provide an introduction to the ideas and methods of mathematical proof. We'll cover basic mathematical logic, set theory, and methods of proof in mathematics.
