Description:
This text makes a great supplement and provides a systematic
approach for teaching undergraduate and graduate students how to
read, understand, think about, and do proofs. The approach is to
categorize, identify, and explain (at the student's level) the
various techniques that are used repeatedly in all proofs,
regardless of the subject in which the proofs arise. How to Read
and Do Proofs also explains when each technique is likely
to be used, based on certain key words that appear in the problem
under consideration. Doing so enables students to choose a
technique consciously, based on the form of the problem.
