Description for The Tools of Mathematical Reasoning
Hardback. Series: Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts. Num Pages: 217 pages. BIC Classification: PBCD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 266 x 187 x 18. Weight in Grams: 566.
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.

Reviews for The Tools of Mathematical Reasoning
Lakins' book is a nice, solid exposition of the tools students need as they transition to abstract mathematical thinking. - Michele Intermont, MAA Reviews
