Proofs play a central role in advanced mathematics and theoretical
computer science, yet many students struggle the first time they
take a course in which proofs play a significant role. This
bestselling text's third edition helps students transition from
solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the
techniques needed to read and write proofs. Featuring over 150 new
exercises and a new chapter on number theory, this new edition
introduces students to the world of advanced mathematics through
the mastery of proofs. The book begins with the basic concepts of
logic and set theory to familiarize students with the language of
mathematics and how it is interpreted. These concepts are used as
the basis for an analysis of techniques that can be used to build
up complex proofs step by step, using detailed 'scratch work'
sections to expose the machinery of proofs about numbers, sets,
relations, and functions. Assuming no background beyond standard
high school mathematics, this book will be useful to anyone
interested in logic and proofs: computer scientists, philosophers,
linguists, and, of course, mathematicians.
