According to the syllabus, we'll be going through Logic, Direct Proof and Proof by Contrapositive, Existence and Proof by Contradiction, Mathematical Induction, Prove or Disprove, Equivalence Relations, and Functions. Some Proofs in Calc.

Bless my HS Calc teacher for getting our toes wet early on since some of this sounds familiar. Just a matter of dusting of memories. My tutor has gone through the class so he's my first line of defense in the comparison department. If not, I'd like to start a study group (especially so if some from my Calc class are in the Proofs as well).

Cool, sounds like a good all-around useful class. (Well, useful as far as general mathematical knowledge goes...)
