Riassunto:

This book is designed as a "transition" course to introduce undergraduates to the writing of rigorous mathematical proofs, and to such fundamental mathematical ideas as sets, functions, relations, and cardinality. Informal discussion plays a key role.

Recensione:

From the book reviews:

“The contents of the book is organized in three parts ... . this is a nice book, which also this reviewer has used with profit in his teaching of beginner students. It is written in a highly pedagogical style and based upon valuable didactical ideas.” (R. Steinbauer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 174, 2014)

“Books in this category are meant to teach mathematical topics and techniques that will become valuable in more advanced courses. This book meets these criteria. ... This book is well suited as a textbook for a transitional course between calculus and more theoretical courses. I also recommend it for academic libraries.” (Edgar R. Chavez, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)

“This is an improved edition of a good book that can serve in the undergraduate curriculum as a bridge between computationally oriented courses like calculus and more abstract courses like algebra.” (Teun Koetsier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1230, 2012)
