Many students encounter difficulty going from high school math to college-level mathematics. Even if they do well at math in school, most students are knocked off course for a while by the shift in emphasis from the K-12 focus on mastering procedures to the “mathematical thinking” characteristic of much university mathematics. Though the majority survive the transition, many do...(展开全部)

Logic is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and the theories of algorithms and computability laid the theoretical foundations of computer science. His first Princeton book, "The Cal...(展开全部)
