About this book
Reviews
“Aimed at introducing postcalculus students to higher mathematics by way of solving rigorous problems and learning how to prove. … the content is less focused on basic mathematical concepts seen in upper-division college mathematics coursework and more so on topics that teachers might present in their classrooms, and on interesting applications … . Teachers of mathematics at the secondary level would be well served by taking a course based on this text. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (D. S. Larson, Choice, Vol. 53 (1), September, 2015)
