A Beginner's Guide To Mathematical Proof

A Beginner's Guide to Mathematical Proof prepares mathematics majors for the transition to abstract mathematics, as well as introducing a wider readership of quantitative science students, such as engineers, to the mathematical structures underlying more applied topics. The text is designed to be easily utilized by both instructor and student, with an accessible, step-by-step approach requiring minimal mathematical prerequisites. The book builds towards more complex ideas as it progresses but never makes assumptions of the reader beyond the material already covered.Features No mathematical prerequisites beyond high school mathematics Suitable for an Introduction to Proofs course for mathematics majors and other students of quantitative sciences, such as engineering Replete with exercises and examples
