5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece
TLDR: This book is a masterpiece.I have had a long and slow journey to mathematics and I find it a challenging subject. I find many books obscure and difficult to follow. I firmly believe this is not a necessary feature of the subject, for the most part, but is more often than not a failing in pedagogy. On the contrary Jay has, in my opinion, succeeded in teaching a subject that although difficult is entirely accessible.Almost by definition any book is going to be either too hard or too easy for most people. For myself - someone approximately at the beginning of undergraduate level in maths - who has never “got” proofs and wanted to start to understand them, I have found this the perfect introduction.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very readable introduction to proof reading and writing
This book covers much the same ground as many other textbooks on proofs, particularly the discreet math books like the one by Epp. However, and compared to other dedicated proof books like the very popular Velleman, this one is much more readable in my opinion. It's also cheaper. I definitely recommend to any student who is struggling with some of the explanations of things like proof by strong mathematical induction given in other textbooks.

I bought this book to help with my proof writing ability in mathematical olympiads(the Irish Mathematical Olympiad IRMO), it helped a lot. The open questions and brief introductions into higher maths were very interesting and has sparked interest in maths beyond second level olympiads.I can't wait to read more of Jay's books.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great but needs solutions to exercises for self-learners
It's a really good book which makes proofs accessible and fun. However, I think a way needs to be found to provide self-learners with solutions to the many exercises. Without access to these (or a teacher) a great deal of educational value is lost.

Excellent service! Product arrived on time and was in mint condition. Highly recommended 👌
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book
Proofs are scary things, full of complicated notation and 'rigour' ... but it need not be so. Jay Cummings has written a brilliant book on proofs guiding the reader from simple to more complex examples in the most gentle and fun way possible. Finally here is a book that does not overwhelm the reader but focuses on teaching mathematics in a way that builds up understanding step by step. Where the book could do better is by providing solutions to at least some of the numerous exercises in each chapter, currently there are none.

Tolles Buch über mathematische Beweise
Das Buch liest sich großartig. Der Author hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben die Themen interessant und verständlich zu erklären und zu veranschaulichen. Dazwischen immer wieder humorvolle Spitzen, sehr erfrischend!
Finally, a book that does its job, and does it exceptionally at that.
I find that this book is sooo good all around the board. It has exercises which is always very important, and also the quality is perfect. Its big, wonderful, and cheap. What else can one ask for?
Excellent Introduction to Wider Mathematics
The ‘Introduction To’ sections of the book were my favourite and I loved the inclusion of open problems as it builds a curiosity towards mathematics.
