Beschreibung
For Students Congratulations! You are about to take a course in mathematical proof. If you are nervous about the whole thing, this book is for you (if not, please read the second and third paragraphs in the introduction for professors following this, so you won't feel left out). The rumors are true; a first course in proof may be very hard because you will have to do three things that are probably new to you: 1. Read mathematics independently. 2. Understand proofs on your own. :1. Discover and write your own proofs. This book is all about what to do if this list is threatening because you "never read your calculus book" or "can't do proofs. " Here's the good news: you must be good at mathematics or you wouldn't have gotten this far. Here's the bad news: what worked before may not work this time. Success may lie in improving or discarding many habits that were good enough once but aren't now. Let's see how we've gotten to a point at which someone could dare to imply that you have bad habits. l The typical elementary and high school mathematics education in the United States tends to teach students to have ineffective learning habits, 1 In the first paragraph, yet. xiv Introduction and we blush to admit college can be just as bad.

Zusammenfassung
Designed for students preparing to engage in their first struggles to understand mathematics independently, this book teaches in detail how to construct examples and non-examples to help understand a new theorem or definition, and how to discover the outline of a proof in the form of the theorem. It is intended to be used interactively, frequently asking the reader to pause and work on an example or a problem before continuing, and encouraging the student to learn from failed attempts at solving problems.
