This book is an ideal introduction to mathematical reasoning and proof techniques, building on familiar content to ensure comprehension of more advanced topics in abstract algebra and real analysis with over 700 exercises as well as many examples. Readers will learn and practice writing proofs related to new abstract concepts while learning new mathematical content. The first task is analogous to practicing soccer while the second is akin to playing soccer in a real match. The authors believe that all students should practice and play mathematics. This is Cioaba’s second book. His first, <em><a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-19-0957-3" title="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-19-0957-3" target="_blank">A first course in graph theory and combinatorics</a></em> (second edition, coauthored with Ram Murty) was published by Springer/HBA in 2022 and is available for free on the UD campus.​​<br></p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2023.00000000000https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=273

Jungck receives three honorsJungck receives three honors9/2/2022 4:00:00 AM<p>​<strong>John Jungck</strong><strong>,</strong> professor of biological sciences and mathematical sciences, has recently received three honors. The first is the 2022 Honorary Member Award from the National Association of Biology Teachers. Regarding his award, Jaclyn Reeves-Pepin, executive director of NABT, said, “…I am thrilled that you are finally being recognized for your tremendous efforts on behalf of biology educators at all levels. I can think of no one else who has so completely changed the way biology is taught.” This is the highest honor bestowed by NABT and recognizes individuals who have achieved distinction in teaching, research and service to the association. Jungck has also recently been selected as a 2023-2025 national speaker for Sigma Xi, the National Science Honor Society. In 2021, Jungck and his colleague Sam Donovan of the University of Pittsburgh were awarded the Thomas Henry Huxley Award, presented for the recognition and promotion of the development of high-quality evolution education resources, by the Society for the Study of Evolution. The winning project was titled <em>Beagle Investigations Return with Darwinian Data (BIRDD). </em><strong> </strong><br></p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2022.00000000000https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=205

Cioaba joins Editorial Board of 'Discrete Mathematics'Cioaba joins Editorial Board of 'Discrete Mathematics'4/2/2021 4:00:00 AM<p>​<strong>Sebastian Cioaba</strong>, professor of mathematical sciences, has recently joined the Editorial Board of the journal <a href="https://www.journals.elsevier.com/discrete-mathematics/editorial-board"><em>Discrete Mathematics</em></a> as an associate editor. The research areas covered by <em>Discrete Mathematics</em> include graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, discrete probability and parts of cryptography. Items in the journal, which was established in 1971, include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics. <em>Discrete Mathematics</em> also publishes occasional special issues containing selected papers. Such issues are fully refereed and adhere to the normal high standards of the journal. Cioaba also serves on the editorial boards of <a href="https://www.journals.elsevier.com/linear-algebra-and-its-applications/editorial-board"><em>Linear Algebra and its Applications</em></a>, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=editorialBoard&journalCode=glma20&"><em>Linear and Multilinear Algebra</em></a> and <a href="https://repository.uwyo.edu/ela/editorialboard.html"><em>The Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra</em></a>.</p>Uncropped VerticalGP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c2021.00000000000https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=74
