SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for studying Geometry and Discrete Mathematics in preparation for high school. Key recommendations include the book "The Power of Logic" and several online resources that provide exercises in symbolic logic. The importance of concurrent study of logic alongside discrete mathematics is emphasized, as it aids in understanding proofs and problem-solving techniques. Participants share specific links to introductory logic resources and exercises that enhance comprehension of discrete math concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Geometry concepts
  • Familiarity with Discrete Mathematics principles
  • Knowledge of symbolic logic and proof techniques
  • Ability to solve logic puzzles and exercises
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "The Power of Logic" for foundational knowledge in logic proofs
  • Visit http://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/RealWorld/logic/logicintro.html for introductory logic resources
  • Practice logic problems at http://home.earthlink.net/~lfdean/carroll/puzzles/logic.html
  • Engage with Natural Deduction Exercises at http://www.public.coe.edu/~pmccormi/phl115/s02/exercises.html to enhance proof skills
USEFUL FOR

High school students preparing for Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone interested in improving their understanding of logic and mathematical proofs.

Geometry and Discrete Mathematics notes?? Resources?

Hello everyone, I'm going to take Geometry and Discrete Mathematics, next year in high school (grade 12). So this summer I'm planning to read some books that would help me out next year, to bulit up my basic skills. So anyone know any sites or books that would help me out somehow?

Thanks.

I took logic concurrently with discrete math and that worked really well. The proofs in symbolic logic help you get used to the discrete math proofs. They help give you a feeling that you really do know what's going on. Depending on your course, you'll probably do some logic actually in the discrete math course too.

http://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/RealWorld/logic/logicintro.html looks like a pretty good resource for introductory logic.

http://home.earthlink.net/~lfdean/carroll/puzzles/logic.html has a lot of problems that can be solved by thinking them through, but using symbolic logic makes them easier.

http://www.public.coe.edu/~pmccormi/phl115/s02/exercises.html
has a bunch of problems. For symbolic logic (you may want to skip the aristotelian stuff) you should scroll down to the links labeled Natural Deduction Exercises and the exercises below them.

The book I used for my logic course was "The Power of Logic."
