Useful Links
- Introduction to Mathematical Arguments by Michael Hutchings. The first ~18 pages of this document are a helpful introduction to mathematical reasoning.
- For questions on enrollment (waitlists, switching sections), the people to talk to are the undergraduate math advisors Thomas Brown and Jennifer Sixt Pinney. Their contact info is near the bottom of this page.
