The Transition to Advanced Mathematics.
Levine, Alan; Shanfelder, Benjamin
Primus, v10 n2 p97-110 Jun 2000
A major cause of the difficulty undergraduate mathematics majors have with the transition from elementary to advanced mathematics courses is that advanced courses require students to understand how mathematics is created. Describes a course whose main purpose is to introduce students to the creative process in mathematics. The course consists of experimentation, conjecture, proof, and generalization. (Author/WRM)
