Reviewed by Robert Minvielle, Technical Operations Director, ULL on 11/2/19
I found the book to be concise and thorough. It covers logic, proofs, sets, functions and relations. The method seems to be more towards CS/EE majors, which is what we would like to see.
Table of Contents
- Chapter 1: Introduction
- Chapter 2: Logic
- Chapter 3: Proof
- Chapter 4: Sets, Functions, and Relations
- Chapter 5: Looking Beyond
