Summary: Proofs 101: An Introduction to Formal Mathematics serves as an introduction to proofs for mathematics majors who have completed the calculus sequence (at least Calculus I and II) and a first course in linear algebra. The book prepares students for the proofs they will need to analyze and write the axiomatic nature of mathematics and the rigors of upper-level mathematics courses. Basic number theory, relations, functions, cardinality, and set theory will provide the material for the proofs and lay the foundation for a deeper understanding of mathematics, which students will need to carry with them throughout their future studies. Features . Designed to be teachable across a single semester . Suitable as an undergraduate textbook for Introduction to Proofs or Transition to Advanced Mathematics courses . Offers a balanced variety of easy, moderate, and difficult exercises https://www.routledge.com/Proofs-101-An-Introduction-to-Formal-Mathematics/Kirtland/p/book/9780367536817
