Synopsis

This textbook is aimed at transitioning high-school students who have already developed proficiency in mathematical problem solving from numerical-answer problems to proof-based mathematics. It serves to guide students on how to write and understand mathematical proofs. It covers proof techniques that are commonly used in several areas of mathematics, especially number theory, combinatorics, and analysis. In addition to just teaching the mechanics of proofs, this book showcases key materials in these areas, thus introducing readers to interesting mathematics along with proof techniques.
