Paperback. The transition from school to university mathematics is seldom straightforward. Students are faced with a disconnect between the algorithmic and informal attitude to mathematics at school, versus a new emphasis on proof, based on logic, and a more abstract development of general concepts, based on set theory. This book bridges the divide. Num Pages: 416 pages, 113 b/w line drawings. BIC Classification: PBC. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 218 x 138 x 25. Weight in Grams: 506.
