Proof in Mathematics: An Introduction
Sydney, Australia: Quakers Hill Press (1996)
Abstract
A textbook on proof in mathematics, inspired by an Aristotelian point of view on mathematics and proof. The book expounds the traditional view of proof as deduction of theorems from evident premises via obviously valid steps. It deals with the proof of "all" statements, "some" statements, multiple quantifiers and mathematical induction.Author's Profile
