This book is written for 1st year students with no previous experience of formulating proofs. Dave Johnson has drawn from his considerable experience to provide a text that concentrates on the most important elements of the subject using clear, simple ... Read more

It is well-written and very well suited to such a course.” (James M. Cargal, UMAP ... Read more
