Mihai Bailesteanu, Central Connecticut State University'Professor Velleman sets himself the difficult task of bridging the gap between algorithmic and proof-based mathematics. )mmJR/ Another example is the “for arbitrary x prove” structure: To prove a statement of the form “for all x, P(x),”wedeclare x to be an arbitrary object and then prove P(x). /Type /Page << Proofs play a central role in advanced mathematics and theoretical computer science, yet many students struggle the first time they take a course in which proofs play a significant role. Featuring over 150 new exercises and a new chapter on number theory , this new edition introduces students to the world of advanced mathematics through the mastery of proofs. The print version of this textbook is ISBN: 9781108424189, 110842418X. As such, it will prove invaluable to first-year undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science.'

This bestselling text's third edition helps students transition from solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the techniques needed to read and write proofs. endobj A theorem is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements, such as other theorems—and generally accepted statements, such as axioms.

Access to locked resources is granted exclusively by Cambridge University Press to lecturers whose faculty status has been verified. The developing mathematician often learns what constitutes a proof and how to present it by osmosis. The art of proving is exercised with naive set theory and elementary number theory throughout the book. The book is engagingly written, and covers - in clear and great detail - many proof techniques. /A 14 0 R
