This book introduces students to the process of doing mathematics and prepares them to succeed in higher-level mathematics courses. By discussing proof techniques, problem solving methods, and the understanding of mathematical ideas, the book provides a solid foundation for students majoring in mathematics, science, and engineering. Students will learn to grasp the underlying concepts of a subject and how to apply these concepts to solving problems. While being able to understand and reproduce proofs of theorems, they will also gain the ability to comprehend the connections among the important concepts and techniques of each subject. This book is intended for a course on proofs and mathematical reasoning, and could also be used as a supplemental text in courses such as algebra, analysis, and linear algebra.

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 2nd Edition. Thomson, copyright 2007. Second edition.

Clean, unmarked text. No hi-liting or marginal notes. Free of tears and folds. Firm binding--no loose pages. However, the bottom edge of the book got wet. Some wrinkling to the lower edge of the pages, but the wrinkling decreases as you progress toward the back pages of the book. No stains, just wrinkling to the lower inch of the pages, but less noticeable after the first 50 pages or so. That's the main drawback to this copy. Otherwise in good condition.
