A Gateway to Higher Mathematics by Jason H Goodfriend
A Gateway to Higher Mathematics integrates the process of teaching students how to do proofs into the framework of displaying the development of the real number system. The text eases the students into learning how to construct proofs, while preparing students how to cope with the type of proofs encountered in the higher-level courses of abstract algebra, analysis, and number theory. After using this text, the students will not only know how to read and construct proofs, they will understand much about the basic building blocks of mathematics. The text is designed so that the professor can choose the topics to be emphasized, while leaving the remainder as a reference for the students.
Mathematics has always been integral to Dr. Goodfriend’s career; both in and out of the classroom. He began teaching mathematics courses as an adjunct professor in 1988. While completing his PhD at the University of Virginia, he received a Graduate Teaching Assistant award for excellence in teaching. He has most recently taught mathematics courses at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Dr. Goodfriend has often applied mathematics to his projects in both industry and government. He is currently employed at the U.S. Department of Transporation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics, where he conducts statistical and economic analyses of the airline industry.
