The book discusses nine popular propositions in Mathematics: “The Consistency Theorem” from Logic; “Isosceles Triangle Theorem” and “Pythagorean Theorem” from Geometry; “Ordered Pair Proposition” and “Mathematical Induction Principle” from Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory; “Remainder Theorem” from Number theory; “The Quadratic Equation Proposition” and “The Subgroup Theorem” from Algebra; and “Dedekind Continuum Theorem” from Analysis, and thereby covers a sufficiently wide cross-section of modern mathematical sub-domains. Using these propositions, the book primarily has three objectives: to offer a deeper appreciation of these propositions and related concepts; to provide a better understanding of their relationship with other topics of Mathematics; and, above all, to throw light on the profound nature of the discipline that has developed and advanced over the millennia through a synergistic combination of imagination, inference, and insight.
The book meticulously dissects each of these chosen propositions in separate chapters while simultaneously probing their intricate interrelationships. This approach yields a heightened appreciation of their mathematical significance, bridging the divide between educational levels. These propositions often appear poised between school-level mathematics and university-level rigour, and the book adeptly navigates this middle ground. Furthermore, it goes beyond mere logical inference, embracing the realms of imagination and insight. It offers a holistic, historical, and intellectual perspective, unravelling not just the necessity of each proposition but also its unique contributions to the fabric and evolution of Mathematics. In doing so, it sheds light on a constellation of interconnected mathematical concepts, enriching the reader's comprehension of this remarkable discipline.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
