5 Help Tools for Learning Mathematical Proofs
Before proving a theorem, mathematicians must be able to find something to prove. They must see patterns, explore them, test for many cases, and make conjectures and generalization. The final part of the process is the proof. Mathematicians during the early times rely only pencil and paper in investigating patterns. Today, hundreds of free and […]
