New Math Subforum - Math Proof Training and Practice

  • Thread starter fresh_42
  • Start date
In summary, there is a new subforum in the General Mathematics forum aimed at helping young students practice writing proofs and becoming more aware of argument loopholes. The subforum includes monthly challenge threads and encourages contributions from seniors, students, and science advisors. More details can be found in the guidelines thread. The subforum is structured as a separate topic within the General Math forum. There are currently two starter threads available for those interested in participating.

Willkomen, bienvenue, welcome,

We have a new subforum in the General Mathematics forum where we want to address young students (high school, undergraduates) to practice their abilities to write proper proofs, become sensible to conclusion chains, and to possible loopholes in arguments.

It is meant as a playground, which is why the monthly challenge threads can now be found in there, too. The idea is: better practice here than find out how to do after an exam.

I hope that seniors, students or science advisors will contribute questions and challenges about particular proof methods now and then. For the details how it is supposed to be used see

Have fun and stay curious!

Here are two starter threads for all who want to give it a try:
The most elementary proof
What have you proven?

The way the "subforum" is placed makes it look like it is really a separate topic within the "General Math" forum or subforum. Maybe I am misunderstanding methods of classification.
 

1. What is the purpose of the New Math Subforum?

The purpose of the New Math Subforum is to provide a platform for individuals to practice and improve their math proof skills. It is a space for learning and collaboration among mathematicians of all levels.

2. Who can participate in the Math Proof Training and Practice?

Anyone with an interest in math and a desire to improve their proof skills is welcome to participate in the Math Proof Training and Practice. This includes students, teachers, and math enthusiasts of all ages.

3. What types of math proofs will be covered in the New Math Subforum?

The New Math Subforum will cover a wide range of math proofs, including but not limited to algebraic proofs, geometric proofs, and logical proofs. The focus will be on building a strong foundation in proof techniques and problem-solving skills.

4. How can I get feedback on my math proofs?

In the New Math Subforum, you can post your proofs and receive feedback from other members. This is a great opportunity to learn from others and improve your skills. Additionally, there will be designated moderators who will provide guidance and feedback on submitted proofs.

5. Are there any prerequisites for participating in the Math Proof Training and Practice?

There are no specific prerequisites for participating in the Math Proof Training and Practice. However, a basic understanding of mathematical concepts and terminology will be helpful in understanding and completing the proofs. It is also recommended to have a willingness to learn and a dedication to practice regularly.
