In this class, students prepare to become professional mathematicians. Major course components are 1) a study of common proof techniques using linear algebra and number theory as foundations, and 2) an introduction to current professional practices such as the use of mathematical typesetting software, the use of computational software, finding and reading mathematical literature, and a survey of current issues in mathematics. Usually offered every spring semester.

Prerequisite(s): a WIC course and either MATH 264 or MATH 132 with consent of the department chair. Recommended to be taken concurrently with MATH 299.
