Book DetailsPure and Applied Undergraduate TextsVolume: 26; 2016; 217 ppMSC: Primary 00
This accessible textbook gives beginning undergraduate mathematics students a first exposure to introductory logic, proofs, sets, functions, number theory, relations, finite and infinite sets, and the foundations of analysis. The book provides students with a quick path to writing proofs and a practical collection of tools that they can use in later mathematics courses such as abstract algebra and analysis. The importance of the logical structure of a mathematical statement as a framework for finding a proof of that statement, and the proper use of variables, is an early and consistent theme used throughout the book.
ReadershipUndergraduate students interested in advancing beyond computation-oriented mathematics courses to proof-based courses.

Lakins' book is a nice, solid exposition of the tools students need as they transition to abstract mathematical thinking.
