PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Valentin Deaconu teaches at University of Nevada, Reno.
This is one of the shorter books for a course that introduces students to the concept of mathematical proofs. The brevity is due to the bare-bones nature of the treatment. The number of topics covered, the number of examples, and the number of exercises are not smaller than what appears in competing textbooks; what is shorter is the text that one finds between theorems, lemmas, examples, and exercises. Besides the topics found in similar textbooks (i.e., proof techniques, logic, set theory, relations, and functions), there are chapters on (very) elementary number theory, combinatorial counting techniques, and Peano axioms on the set of positive integers. Several chapters are devoted to the construction of various kinds of numbers, such as integers, rationals, real numbers, and complex numbers. Answers to around half the exercises are included at the end of the book, and a few have complete solutions. This reviewer finds the book more enjoyable than the average competing textbook. --M.
