The goal of this book is to show students how mathematicians think and to glimpse some of the fascinating things they think about. Bond and Keane develop students' ability to do abstract mathematics by teaching the form of mathematics in the context of real and elementary mathematics. Students learn the fundamentals of mathematical logic; how to read and understand definitions, theorems, and proofs; and how to assimilate abstract ideas and communicate them in written form. Students will learn to write mathematical proofs coherently and correctly.
