Introduction to mathematical thinking.

HSTAR-Y0001

Stanford Graduate School of Education

The goal of the course is to help you develop a valuable mental ability – a powerful way of thinking that our ancestors have developed over three thousand years.

Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself. The key to success in school math is to learn to think inside-the-box. In contrast, a key feature of mathematical thinking is thinking outside-the-box – a valuable ability in today's world. This course helps to develop that crucial way of thinking.

The course is offered in two versions. The eight-week-long Basic Course is designed for people who want to develop or improve mathematics-based, analytic thinking for professional or general life purposes. The ten-week-long Extended Course is aimed primarily at first-year students at college or university who are thinking of majoring in mathematics or a mathematically-dependent subject, or high school seniors who have such a college career in mind. The final two weeks are more intensive and require more mathematical background than the Basic Course. There is no need to make a formal election between the two. Simply skip or drop out of the final two weeks if you decide you want to complete only the Basic Course.

Course Syllabus

Instructor's welcome and introduction

  •  Introductory material
  •  Analysis of language – the logical combinators
  •  Analysis of language – implication
  •  Analysis of language – equivalence
  •  Analysis of language – quantifiers
  •  Working with quantifiers
  •  Proofs
  •  Proofs involving quantifiers
  •  Elements of number theory
  • Beginning real analysis

Recommended Background

High school mathematics. Specific requirements are familiarity with elementary symbolic algebra, the concept of a number system (in particular, the characteristics of, and distinctions between, the natural numbers, the integers, the rational numbers, and the real numbers), and some elementary set theory (including inequalities and intervals of the real line). Students whose familiarity with these topics is somewhat rusty typically find that with a little extra effort they can pick up what is required along the way. The only heavy use of these topics is in the (optional) final two weeks of the Extended Course.

A good way to assess if your  basic  school background is adequate (even if currently rusty) is to glance at the topics in the book  Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics  (free download), published by the US National Academies Press in 2001. Though aimed at K-8 mathematics teachers and teacher educators, it provides an excellent coverage of what constitutes a good basic mathematics education for life in the Twenty-First Century (which was the National Academies' aim in producing it).

Mastering Math Assignments: Strategies for Success

Embracing the world of mathematics can be enjoyable and intellectually stimulating when approached with the right mindset. Here are some valuable tips to enhance your ability to solve math assignments efficiently.

Eliminate Distractions: Dedicate focused time to complete your math assignments, as they often involve multi-step problem-solving. Minimize distractions by putting away your phone and notifying others of your study plans. Seeking assistance from math assignment help services can provide expert guidance and support you require for math assignments.

Utilize Mathematical Tricks: Learn and apply quick mathematical tricks from your professors for calculations. You can also opt for assistance from a math assignment helper to ace different techniques. Familiarity with these tricks can significantly expedite the problem-solving of math writing assignment.

Thoroughly Read and Follow Instructions: Carefully read the instructions provided by your instructor before diving into the assignment. Use a notepad to jot down essential information and create an outline for a better understanding. Clearly articulate your problem-solving process, ensuring you address all aspects mentioned in the instructions.

Start with Challenging Problems: Prioritize your math problems based on difficulty and importance. Tackle the most challenging problems first and gradually work your way down. This approach ensures efficient utilization of your energy and time.

Take Regular, Short Breaks: Maintain concentration by taking short breaks to alleviate stress and prevent burnout. Breaks of 15 to 20 minutes allow you to recharge without losing focus on your assignments.

Study with a Friend: Collaborating with a study companion can provide motivation and a fresh perspective. Explaining concepts to each other enhances understanding and promotes effective learning.

Timeline

Assignments in math courses are usually a list of problems to be solved. Each question may be of various difficulties and types, which are marked and returned to the student to be used as a source of feedback. Math assignments are designed to provide opportunities for 'doing math' and to consolidate students’ understanding of the content. The questions often come from the most recent week of learned material, but some questions may require students to synthesize concepts from further back. This is because learning math is cumulative by nature; you continuously build upon what you've learned before. Because math assignments are typically used as a checkpoint for understanding, they tend to weigh less than other assessments in terms of grade, therefore, it's important to treat them as learning opportunities instead of a tool for maximizing course grades.

Click on the Timeline for a visual representation of the timeline. Click on the Checklist for a document containing the checklist items for a math assignment.

According to your start and end dates ( 2024-08-23 to 2024-08-28 ), you have 5 days to finish your assignment.

Add to Google Calendar

Step 1: Understand the questions Complete by Fri Aug 23, 2024

Read through the assignment once it’s released and understand the questions. Read the questions early to prime your brain; too many students start too late.

  • For some courses, assignments come out before or as content is covered, so having the questions in your mind as you see the content can help prime you to actively learn the content and will also help you know where to look for relevant material in the lecture notes and/or videos. Active learning of content means you are asking yourself questions as you are learning, actively monitoring your understanding of the topic, and anticipating next steps.
  • Read all the questions to estimate the range of tested material, make note of anything you don’t understand. Understanding the question correctly reduces the chance of getting stuck.
The hardest thing being with a mathematician is that they always have problems.

– Tendai Chitewere

Step 2: Gather materials and review Complete by Sat Aug 24, 2024

  • Gather required materials (lecture notes and/or videos, textbook sections).
  • Study the material (definitions, concepts, solved problems, etc.) until you are familiar with it. Identify connections across concepts/topics and practice additional problems. Regularly reviewing your material will also help you to find relevant information quickly if you get stuck on a question.

Step3: Solve questions and get help Complete by Tue Aug 27, 2024

Part a: attempt to solve each question.

  • Rule of thumb for time allocation: one hard question may take significantly longer than all easy questions combined. Consider how long you’ve taken to solve all the easy questions. It may take at least twice as long to solve one hard question. Try all easy questions as soon as possible to gauge how long the rest could take.
  • Try giving yourself a break for a day before attempting them again to allow time for your mind to continue working subconsciously.
  • Still stuck? Check out Math problems: What to do when you're stuck for more strategies and tips.
  • Keep track of unsolved questions and what stages you were stuck at. Don’t throw away any work in progress.Your instructor or TA can provide better help if you can narrow down on the issue.
The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

– Paul Halmos

Mathematics is not a deductive science -- that's a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don't just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork.

– Paul Halmos  

Part B: Get help on unsolved questions

  • The sooner you ask for support, the more time you and the instructor/TA will have for follow-up conversations.
  • Focus on asking questions to help you close the gap between your understanding, and the understanding you need to complete the question.  Questions such as “Can I get a hint on #4?” or “What is the answer?” are not typically helpful in increasing your problem-solving abilities.
  • For questions you were challenged by, but were able to solve after receiving help from the instructor or TA, make sure that you fully understand how to come up with the solution in case a similar question is asked on a test.
  • Many students find it helpful to study together. Make sure you understand what your instructor’s expectations are around group work (if you’re not sure, ask!). Be mindful about how much you post about an assignment solution on the course’s discussion board and if you’re in doubt, consider posting privately. Familiarize yourself with the academic integrity standards expected in your courses.

The goal of seeking help is to try to find out how to approach questions that you are stuck on. From this extra help you still may not see the complete picture of how to solve the problem. To see this may require that you go back to Part A , now with the instructor/TA’s suggestions in mind.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

– Thomas Alva Edison

Step 4: Check your solutions Complete by Wed Aug 28, 2024

  • It’s important that you spend some time away from your solutions before you check them. For problems you did solve, try to figure out if you can check your own answer like you would have to on a test (i.e. don’t look up answers in a book or online).
  • You could ask the instructor/TA for guidance, but avoid questions such as “Did I do this right?” Instead, ask yourself whether you are asking the right questions about your solution. 
  • Remember not to focus only on the final answer, but also on how you communicated your answer. Ask yourself if a typical student in the class could follow along with what you’ve written. 
  • Remember to cite any external sources that you used in your work, including work completed with others (if this was permitted).

Step 5: Review Marked Assignments Complete by Wed Aug 28, 2024

After receiving your marked assignment check over incorrect questions as well as those you got right. Review posted solutions and read them critically. Often, there are different approaches to a problem and you may learn about some of these new approaches through this review.

What are the rules of assignment?

Recently I've been reviewing some of the basics of algebra, and one thing that is taught rather flimsily are the rules of when we want to 'assign' to a symbol. Is there a formal language that allows us to define an assignment, for example we often see 'if $x=...$ or 'when $x=...$ '. The first question that a student might have is 'WHEN precisely is $x=3$ ' I understand in 'model theory' there exists an idea of 'assignment', but it does not seem naturally possible to link it to the simpler concept, Perhaps here we find the origins of this concept, but I cannot see it? Likewise, can we use the original 'variable' name? For example 'under the assignment $x=3$ , we know that $x^2=9$ ' in this case we are using the variable $x$ but under a particular assignment. If we can do this, is there any difference between a 'general' expression for the variable $x$ and an expression under an 'assignment'.

The problem here is that in actual practice, we are mixing both mathematical language and natural language, and it's not that the mathematical language or the natural language by themselves are tricky, but rather it's the mixing of the two that cause these concepts to become blurred.

The central bone of contention, as you're observing, is what exactly is the following hybrid of mathematical and natural language (English), in this case:

Let $x = 5$ .

What does it say about $=$ ? Does it mean $=$ is simply a verb indicating that something holds true, or is it something else? What I would suggest is that the above piece of language is formally ambiguous as to its interpretation, but both interpretations can be carried out in a consistent manner, and both of them have been suggested separately in the two answers given here.

The first is that this is introducing a hypothesis . The variable $x$ never actually gets a value. Instead, what is going on here is we are really saying "Suppose it is true that $x = 5$ ", and for sake of brevity, we use the term "let". That is, we are building what in formal language would look something like

$$(x = 5) \rightarrow \cdots$$

The second is that this statement, by its enunciation, actually does cause the fact that $x = 5$ to become true. That is, "let" expands to "I declare hereby that $x = 5$ ." This is the assignment version. Linguistically, this type of morsel is called in some circles a " performative ": it is a bit of language that causes its own truth simply by virtue of putting it forward. (This is similar to, but not quite the same as, the more commonly-known imperative : an imperative is a command given from one person to another. They both "do something", but the imperative requires further action to cause change, the performative does that all by itself.)

However, there then becomes the question of when and where the assignment ceases being valid, as you point out, since clearly it is not the case that from here on forever and everywhere $x = 5$ must hold otherwise we'd have a heck of a time trying to do maths and everyone would be fighting over what " $x$ ", a very common symbol, must mean! :) Hence if you take the assignment picture, you must thus also take the idea of scope . Unfortunately, while there is a semi-common symbol, $:=$ , for assignment, there is not a maths-only symbol for a scope. Thus, scopes are still implicit, not explicit.

Insofar as the "rules of assignment", it's basically this:

  • Declare a scope. (No notation!)
  • Make the assignments within that scope.
  • Choose this as the scope to do some argumentation, then do the argumentation. In that argumentation, the given assignments are the meanings of the variables.

Outside the scope, the variables' meanings are once more undetermined (or not fully determined). That, I believe, answers your last question: the statement's meaning changes depending on what scope it is enclosed in, but scopes are not written explicitly in mathematical papers. Instead, you have to mentally track them and it's something you just pick up with experience.

ADD: I see some comments that suggest you may be asking for, say, properties or axioms that assignment follows. I'd suggest that there's pretty much only one: once $a := b$ has been enunciated, then $a = b$ necessarily evaluates to "true".

Of course, the relationship between these two approaches is, of course, that once you make the assignment, it becomes a true hypothesis, and thus we can try reasoning forward from it. However, which approach you choose to formulate maths is not something with a single answer. It's a choice. In the strong computer-coding affinity this has, it's basically the difference between functional and imperative programming. In functional programming, everything is in terms of "this relates to that". In imperative programming, you more explicitly issue commands to the computer that make the computer do stuff, like set variables to certain values. Of course, since the computer is ultimately doing stuff, the functional program must somehow become translated to imperative, but it is not written like it is imperative.

That said, I'd still argue in the end that ultimately you can't get away from the assignment: after all, even if we take the hypothetical approach, for the result to have any use, somewhere $x$ ultimately has to get assigned. The trick, then, is that that would happen in a particular application. Like if you're calculating a geometric quantity, your variable assignments happen - again implicitly - as part of the specific problem in question.

I would claim that, indeed, in the practice of mathematics, the sign $=$ is used in (at least) three different ways. The tradition is to pretend that there is only one use, that of an assertion of a relationship, such as $2=1+1$ .

However, in practice, there is also assignment , as the question observes. So, for example, if we're doing Peano arithmetic, we might define $2$ by "let $2=1+1$ ".

Also, there are queries or tests, which do not assert a relationship, and do not assign anything. As in "if $x>y$ , then...". Yes, we can say that the smaller logical piece " $x>y$ " expresses a possible relationship, but it does not assert it. Depending on one's formal logical framework, this may be an empty distinction. However, in dealing with informal logic and basic mathematics, this conceptually distinct.

Some of this is blurred by what are, in my opinion, "fake implications", where one is looking at cases, or making certain assumptions, but expresses it as "if... then...", where, in fact, the "if" component is not in doubt. E.g., "if $x=2$ , then $x+x=4$ ". My quibble could be expressed as, "well, how do we test whether or not $x=2$ ?". It makes much more practical sense to say "for $x=2$ ..." or "when $x=2$ ..." or, again, an assignment: "let $x=2$ . Then $x+x=4$ ."

paul garrett's user avatar

You seem to be thinking about mathematical variables like computer language variables. There are no scope rules. If I say "let $x=3$ " I mean just that. It is expected that what I say next will expose a reason for the statement.

In mathematical writing, there is no difference between a declaration and an assignment because the symbols are not names for boxes or references to boxes.

In fact, you probably wouldn't see a statement like $$\text{let }x=3$$ . You would more likely see something like $$\text{let }x\in\mathbb R\text{ be a real number}$$ and later see a statement like $$\text{if }x=3\text{ then ...}$$

  • 1 $\begingroup$ True, there are few scope "rules" in most mathematics, but the concept of "scope" does play a large role, whether explicitly acknowledged (or codified) or not, and in particular when the ubiquitous "$x$" gets re-used endlessly. :) $\endgroup$ –  paul garrett Commented Jun 5, 2022 at 18:09
  • 2 $\begingroup$ @paulgarrett I have never seen $x$ get re-used in a mathematical proof. Re-using variables is a thing of computer programming. It isn't done in mathematical writing. $\endgroup$ –  John Douma Commented Jun 5, 2022 at 18:11
  • 1 $\begingroup$ I disagree. In fact, I often see (and frequently write) "let $x=3\in\mathbb R$"... and perhaps later in the same not-so-short proof, "now let $x>3$". $\endgroup$ –  paul garrett Commented Jun 5, 2022 at 18:17
  • 1 $\begingroup$ @paulgarrett would we not think that we are talking about different things that could or could not be true depending on the value of $x$ rather than 're-using' $x$? As we will replace every instance of $x$ when substituting which would not be the case if we were re-using $x$ for something else., $\endgroup$ –  user1047679 Commented Jun 5, 2022 at 21:14
  • 1 $\begingroup$ @user37577, yes, there is indeed an issue of "scope", although not usually recognized in mathematics, so that we know "which $x$" we're referring-to, and so on. An extreme case in practical basic math is "the variable of integration", where we write $\int f(x)\,dx$. In reality, there is no need to name the argument to the function $f$ in order to integrate it, etc. But it is very traditional to write this kind of thing. And then there is a traditional confusion about whether the output of that integration "is a function of $x$" (usually it is construed so!), or ... what? :) $\endgroup$ –  paul garrett Commented Jun 5, 2022 at 21:25

You want to consider asking on the math educators site if you're specifically interested in how to teach students about $=$ or answer their questions about what it is.

Talking about assigning to a symbol in math is borrowing a metaphor from programming. That's not completely true; let $x$ $=$ something constructions are very old but I think that thinking of them as an assignment rather than a hypothesis is a programming metaphor. You can get a lot of mileage out of this metaphor, but it is not the only way to think about what $=$ is doing and it might be misleading, since $1 + 1 = 2$ is not an assignment. It is possible to lean into the programming metaphor further and use a dedicated symbol like $ := $ for assigning to variables, but that might be counterproductive.

In model theory / the semantics of first-order logic, an assignment has a specific meaning. It is a mapping from free variables to their denotations.

You need this map in order to define the notion of truth in a model.

For example, here is one such rule, giving the meaning of the existential quantifier.

$$ M, \vec{v} \models \exists x \mathop. \varphi(x, \vec{v}) \;\; \textit{if and only if}\;\; \text{there exists a variable assignment $\vec{u}$ extending $\vec{v}$ such that $M, \vec{u} \models \varphi(\vec{u})$} $$

A variable assignment $\vec{u}$ extending $\vec{v}$ means that the variables assigned any denotation at all by $\vec{u}$ are a superset of the ones assigned a denotation by $\vec{v}$ and that $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ agree on their common subset.

This is kind of unsatisfying though and doesn't really make the intuitive concept of hypothesizing a value for a variable clearer .

The semantics of equality are similarly unsatisfying and appeal to an intuitive notion of equality that already exists in the background.

$$ M, \vec{v} \models t_1(\vec{v}) = t_2(\vec{v}) \;\;\textit{if and only if}\;\; \text{the denotation of $t_1(\vec{v})$ is equal to the denotation of $t_2(\vec{v})$ in $M$} $$
