Handbook of Mathematical Proof
by Edward D. Kim
Publisher: American Mathematical Society 2023
Number of pages: 181
Description:
This can be used for an intro to proofs course, or a reference in a proof-based course. Designing any guide or text on mathematical proof leads to a discussion of sets first or propositions first. We introduce a little of each first, and then constantly bring the discussion back to categorizing what each kind of thing is, with emphasis on mathematical language.
