By: Hamkins, Joel David [author.].
Publisher: Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, 2021Description: viii, 123 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780262542203; 026254220X.Subject(s): Proof theory -- Textbooks | Logic, Symbolic and mathematical -- Textbooks | Logic, Symbolic and mathematical | Proof theoryGenre/Form: Textbooks.DDC classification: 511.36 H18 Summary: An introduction to writing proofs, presented through compelling mathematical statements with interesting elementary proofs. This book offers an introduction to the art and craft of proof-writing. The author, a leading research mathematician, presents a series of engaging and compelling mathematical statements with interesting elementary proofs. These proofs capture a wide range of topics, including number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, the theory of games, geometry, infinity, order theory, and real analysis. The goal is to show students and aspiring mathematicians how to write proofs with elegance and precision.-- Source other than Library of Congress.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
