Theoremus - Cruz, Lito Perez

. .

Résumé :
A compact and easily accessible book, it guides the reader in unravelling the apparent mysteries found in doing mathematical proofs. Simply written, it introduces the art and science of proving mathematical theorems and propositions and equips students with the skill required to tackle the task of proving mathematical assertions. Theoremus - A Student's Guide to Mathematical Proofs is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides a grounding in the notion of mathematical assertions, arguments and fallacies and Part 2, presents lessons learned in action by applying them into the study of logic itself. The book supplies plenty of examples and figures, gives some historical background on personalities that gave rise to the topic and provides reflective problems to try and solve. The author aims to provide the reader with the confidence to take a deep dive into some more advanced work in mathematics or logic.
