| Summary: | "This text introduces proof and analysis by describing the processes of abstraction and logical argumentation and help students transition to practitioners of mathematics. It aims to help students move beyond knowledge of the definitions of mathematical structures, elementary logic, and standard proof techniques and learn to explore mathematical situations, make conjectures, and apply methods of proof. Chapters describe proof and abstract mathematics, including induction, basic logic, elementary set theory, functions and relations, and basic number theory and combinatorics, then the basic concepts of analysis, including limits of sequences of real numbers and functions, infinite series, the structure of the real line, and continuous functions."--Provided by publisher |
