How to Think Like a Mathematician. The book starts with basic chapters on mathematical logic, as a prelude to proof-writing – translating simple word problems to logical equations and showing how to reason about them with tools like truth tables, operations on sets and logical quantifiers. The book also mentions Proof Building Software, but I did not check to see if the link still worked or not.
These concepts are used as the basis for a step-by-step breakdown of the most important techniques used in constructing proofs. One small thing that could have been better is the treatment of empty sets. Also note that there is no shortage of exercises — you can do as ma I picked this book up because I had zero experience with proofs, and was seriously struggling while trying to learn math.
