I needed a book that covered fundamental background information behind mathematical proof techniques for an undergraduate univeristy level linear algebra class.With this book, I was able to truly learn and understand the major concepts behind mathematical logic and proof. This text brings a whole new meaning to teaching the reader about being precise; and I mean the author does an extremely terrific job of doing just that. Wow!
Seriously, the focus here is on content so you wont find any sexy graphs or anything. The content is so good that I often felt that just by reading it I was propelled into a quasi- pseudo-lecture meeting.
After following this text, I can say that I now appreciate the act of being precise to the point that is required for mathematical proof. If you want to extend the knowledge of your white board then just buy this thing. I am so glad I did.
BTW, I only needed the content from the first five chapters, I cant say much about the rest of the text. However, taking an inductive approach, I must assume that the other chapters are also very excellent. Yess, see it worked!
Now I know how beautiful proofs can be
