Coursera中《Introduction to Mathematical Thinking》课程开篇提要

《Introduction to Mathematical Thinking》课程简单介绍：

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 primary audience is 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. They will need mathematical thinking to succeed in their major. Because mathematical thinking is a valuable life skill, however, anyone over the age of 17 could benefit from taking the course

补充说明：

1、课程的英文字幕暂时没有上传，需要的同学可以去https://www.coursera.org/course/maththink上面下载字幕。过一段时间我再上传字幕。

2、我上传到百度网盘的课程缺少Lecture 7  Proofs 和Problems  Set 2，因为官网的这两个视频不能下载，我再想想办法，如果可以的话就再传上去。

3、Coursera是国外一家做的非常优秀的开放课程平台，在接下来的学习时光中能够坚持去听Coursera的课程，应该能有很大的收获。欢迎大家一起讨论《Introduction to Mathematical Thinking》的内容。QQ群：254771740(Introduction to Mathematical Thinking学习小组)
