site_name: Basic Concepts of Mathematics, by Elias Zakon
site_description:
This book helps the student complete the transition from purely manipulative to
rigorous mathematics. The clear exposition covers many topics that are assumed
by later courses but are often not covered with any depth or organization:
basic set theory, induction, quantifiers, functions and relations, equivalence
relations, properties of the real numbers (including consequences of the
completeness axiom), fields, and basic properties of n-dimensional Euclidean
spaces. The many exercises and optional topics (isomorphism of complete ordered
fields, construction of the real numbers through Dedekind cuts, introduction to
normed linear spaces, etc.) allow the instructor to adapt this book to many
environments and levels of students. Extensive hypertextual cross-references
and hyperlinked indexes of terms and notation add truly interactive elements to
the text.
