| Department | School of Engineering / Graduate School of Engineering, 2013 Spring |
| Recommended for: | Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Information Engineering freshman (3・1 session / week 15 weeks / semester) |
In this lecture, we will be learning about the basic concepts of set, function and relation. We will also focus on the elementary number theory and basic theories of algebra. In the exercise session you will be asked to establish proofs for exercise problems to get the basic understanding of the format.
Lecture notes are uploaded for your convenience. Therefore, in this lecture, I would like you to focus on the lecture not just on taking notes. It is true that writing equations yourself by taking notes is important to get the fundamental understanding of the lecture. However, in this lecture students will be asked to solve lots of problems to get the fundamental techniques of writing logically well-constructed proofs.
Mid term exam will be in the last lecture. Problems on the final exam will be the same one as in the mid term exam. It is because student will be forced to review all the problems on the mid term exam and this is good way for them to review and get them a chance to study.
Basic concepts about set, function and relation
Elementary number theory
Basic theories of algebra
Objectives of our course are as followed.
Getting sufficient knowledge of basic mathematics in order to get through four-year study in Nagoya University
Getting sufficient knowledge of mathematical notational conventions in order to get through four-year study in Nagoya University
Obtaining logical thinking, or the ability to prove logically and clearly without any unclear reasoning. (Many example problems will be given in the exercise session) Logically well-constructed proof has to follow following rules.
No inconsistency in the proof
No superfluous discussion
Enough reasoning for the conclusion.
Clear storyline
Development of abstract thinking
This lecture is designed for Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Information Engineering freshman. Therefore, one of our objectives is to get the basic skills and knowledge of basic mathematics. Furthermore, through intensive exercise I would like you to obtain logical thinking for writing thesis in senior year.
Followings are the example problems given in the exercise session.
