"The book provides a valuable introduction to the nuts and bolts of mathematical proofs in general." William M. McGovern, University of Washington, SIAM Reviews, "The prose is clear and cogent ... the exercises are plentiful and are pitched at the right level.... I recommend this book very highly!" MAA Reviews, "The prose is clear and cogent ... the exercises are plentiful and are pitched at the right level.... I recommend this book very highly!" The Mathematical Association of America, "This is a good book, and an exceptionally good mathematics book. Thorough and clear explanations, examples, and (especially) exercised with complete solutions all contribute to make this an excellent choice for teaching yourself, or a class, about writing proofs." Brent Smith, SIGACT News, "The book provides a valuable introduction to the nuts and bolts of mathematical proofs in general." SIAM Review, 'The book begins with the basic concepts of logic and theory ... These concepts are used as the basis for a step-by-step breakdown of the most important techniques used in constructing proofs. No background standard in high scholl mathematics is assumed.'
