Synopsis

This textbook prepares students for the more abstract mathematics courses that follow calculus. Appropriate for self-study or for use in courses called transition courses, this text introduces students to proof techniques, analyzing proofs, and writing proofs of their own. Written in a clear, conversational style, this book provides a solid introduction to such topics as the real number system, logic, set theory, mathematical induction, relations, functions, and continuity. It is also a good reference text that students can use when writing or reading proofs in their more advanced courses.
