Description
This book introduces mathematical thinking as a powerful way of approaching problems in the world. It's not about applying formulas and procedures, but rather learning to think logically, analytically, and precisely.
Mathematical thinking is valuable for everyone, regardless of their background or subject area. While it may take time to develop, anyone who has completed high school mathematics can master this skill in just six weeks. This book provides a concise guide to help students make the transition from high school math to college-level mathematics.
Written primarily for first and second year STEM students, as well as high school students intending to study a STEM subject at university, this book aims to address the challenges many face when moving from high school math to college-level mathematics. It could serve as a textbook or supplementary resource for transition courses in colleges and universities.
