Product Information

For one/two-term courses in Transition to Advanced Mathematics or Introduction to Proofs. Also suitable for courses in Analysis or Discrete Maths. This text is designed to prepare students thoroughly in the logical thinking skills necessary to understand and communicate fundamental ideas and proofs in mathematics skills vital for success throughout the upper-level mathematics curriculum. The text offers both discrete and continuous mathematics, allowing instructors to emphasize one or to present the fundamentals of both. It begins by discussing mathematical language and proof techniques (including induction), applies them to easily-understood questions in elementary number theory and counting, and then develops additional techniques of proof via important topics in discrete and continuous mathematics. The stimulating exercises are acclaimed for their exceptional quality. *A clearly outlined transition course. *Now contains an excellent course in analysis. *Offers over 850 exercises ranging from relatively straightforward applications of ideas in the text to subtle problems requiring some ingenuity. *Distinguishes easier exercises by (-), harder by (+), and particularly valuable or instructive exercises by (!)
