Reviews

The book is written in a precise and clear style, with lots of appropriately chosen examples and a sufficient amount of (clear) diagrams. ... could be useful to, and enjoyed by, students seeking a concise introduction to the notion of mathematical proof. --London Mathematical Society Newsletter, No. 454, January 2016 The manner in which the authors expose their ideas is a very kind and easy to understand one. The book contains lots of examples and comments. Far more, all the judgements are well exposed. The examples that are offered cover a large area of elementary mathematics, such as calculus, logic, sets and functions, linear algebra, and group theory. We highly recommend this book, first of all to those who study mathematics, but we also find it useful for those who study engineering and computer science. --Zentralblatt MATH 1311 The book is written in a precise and clear style, with lots of appropriately chosen examples and a sufficient amount of (clear) diagrams. could be useful to, and enjoyed by, students seeking a concise introduction to the notion of mathematical proof.
