    Study Notes

    Major Subdisciplines of Modern Mathematics

    • Pure mathematics: number theory, algebra, geometry, analysis, and combinatorics
    • Applied mathematics: dynamical systems, differential equations, and mathematical physics
    • Discrete mathematics: graph theory, combinatorics, and number theory

    Mathematical Proof

    • The primary method of mathematical proof is deduction, which involves deriving a conclusion from one or more premises based on logical rules

    Mathematical Activities

    • Most mathematical activities involve problem-solving, theorem-proving, and conjecturing

    Entities in Modern Mathematics

    • Entities in modern mathematics are stipulated to have certain structures, such as groups, rings, and fields

    Mathematical Proofs

    • Proofs in mathematics consist of a series of logical steps, based on axioms, definitions, and previously established results, to establish the truth of a statement
