What is An Introduction to Mathematical Proofs (Textbooks in Mathematics) about?
**__An Introduction to Mathematical Proofs__** presents fundamental material on logic, proof methods, set theory, number theory, relations, functions, cardinality, and the real number system. The text uses a methodical, detailed, and highly structured approach to proof techniques and related topics. No prerequisites are needed beyond high-school algebra. New material is presented in small chunks that are easy for beginners to digest. The author offers a friendly style without sacrificing mathematical rigor. Ideas are developed through motivating examples, precise definitions, carefully stated theorems, clear proofs, and a continual review of preceding topics. Features * Study aids including section summaries and over 1100 exercises * Careful coverage of individual proof-writing skills * Proof annotations and structural outlines clarify tricky steps in proofs * Thorough treatment of multiple quantifiers and their role in proofs * Unified explanation of recursive definitions and induction proofs, with applications to greatest common divisors and prime factorizations **About the Author:** **Nicholas A. Loehr** is an associate professor of mathematics at Virginia Technical University.
