How to Write Better Proofs
Professor Dennis Bernstein, Aerospace Engineering Department
Proofs are essential to mathematics, but what about engineering? In this 1.5-hour seminar, I will discuss the role of proofs in mathematics and their value in engineering research. Next, I will review the basics of logic for writing mathematically precise definitions and theorems. Finally, I will describe strategies and techniques for constructing clear, coherent, and well-structured proofs. This seminar is intended for graduate students in engineering whose research involves proofs, but beginning and advanced graduate students and faculty from all areas are welcome to attend. The seminar will be informal, with questions invited throughout.
