In this 2-hour interactive online course, you will become acquainted with inductive reasoning as it applies to mathematics, engineering, science and other fields of endeavor.  You will find out how to apply mathematical induction to the proof of certain types of hypotheses.  In particular, you will have the start of knowing what mathematical sequences and series are, their relation to reach other and some of the particulars of their nomenclature.  This will include definitions and some theorems.  Indeed you will walk through the process of developing a mathematical statement with inductive reasoning and then prove that statement by mathematical induction. 

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, you will have a better understanding of inductive reasoning and demonstrative reasoning, including:

 

  • Types of problem solving - problems to find and problems to prove
  • Application of mathematical induction
  • Notation for sequences and series

Patrick Green is a professional engineer registered in three states, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. He holds degrees from the U. S. Naval Academy and the University of Florida.

After serving in the U. S. Navy, he left to gain a Mechanical Engineering degree. His experience includes working in the shipbuilding industry at Newport News Shipbuilding, fire control test engineering on a Polaris missile submarine and assisting in the planning of installation of The Nuclear Carrier power plant construction for the USS Nimitz.

He began his career in the electric utility industry working on computerized planning and scheduling for power plant construction. He gained considerable experience in pre-operational and start up testing at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Station, near Augusta, Georgia. Towards the end of his career, he performed operational audits as a certified lead auditor and as an Independent Safety Engineer. He is now retired, but has a continued interest in all things engineering.
