How to read and do proofs

by Daniel Solow

This book provides a systematic approach that will help you master the basic techniques that are used in all proofs, regardless of the mathematical subject matter in which the proof arises. Once you know these techniques, you'll be better equipped to read, understand, and actually do proofs. You'll also learn when each technique is likely to be successful, based on keywords that appear in the theorem. -- Publisher description
