I agree with most of what you wrote, but it’s puzzling to me that you think that proofs are more of a feature of discrete math than continuous (analysis). My first introduction to proof-writing was in geometry, and a majority of proofs that I have read or written have been in analysis. But I was a math major in college.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoMy first introduction to proofs was also in high school (middle school?, It's been a while) geometry.
- ecshafer 3y agoI also did proofs for the first time in Geometry. But the reason I think of proofs as more in Discrete, is that you usually get proofs immediately in Discrete via number theory, graphs, or things like induction. But you usually don't really get proofs in analysis until you take, what real analysis or complex analysis? So you typically have trig, precalc, calc 1/2/3, differential equation and partial differential equations that is just calculations. That's my thinking anyways.
