Mathematics
The notion of proof is central to mathematics yet it is one of the most difficult
aspects of the subject to master. Understanding Mathematical Proof
describes the nature of mathematical proof, explores the various techniques
that mathematicians adopt to prove their results, and offers advice and
strategies for constructing proofs. It will improve your ability to understand
proofs and construct correct proofs of your own.
The first chapter of the text introduces the kind of reasoning that mathemati¬
cians use when writing their proofs and gives some example proofs to set
the scene. The book then describes basic logic to enable an understand¬
ing of the structure of both individual mathematical statements and whole
mathematical proofs. It also explains the notions of sets and functions and
dissects several proofs with a view to exposing some of the underlying fea¬
tures common to most mathematical proofs. The remainder of the book
delves further into different types of proof, including direct proof, proof using
contrapositive,
proof by contradiction, and mathematical induction. The au¬
thors also discuss existence and uniqueness proofs and the role of counter
examples.
