'Numbers and Proofs' presents a gentle introduction to the notion
of proof to give the reader an understanding of how to decipher
others' proofs as well as construct their own. Useful methods of
proof are illustrated in the context of studying problems
concerning mainly numbers (real, rational, complex and integers).
An indispensable guide to all students of mathematics. Each proof
is preceded by a discussion which is intended to show the reader
the kind of thoughts they might have before any attempt proof is
made. Established proofs which the student is in a better position
to follow then follow.
Presented in the author's entertaining and informal style, and
written to reflect the changing profile of students entering
universities, this book will prove essential reading for all
seeking an introduction to the notion of proof as well as giving a
definitive guide to the more common forms. Stressing the importance
of backing up "truths" found through experimentation, with
logically sound and watertight arguments, it provides an ideal
bridge to more complex undergraduate maths.
