Basic Concepts of Mathematics and Logic

Intended as a first look at mathematics at the college level, this text emphasizes logic and the theory of sets, covering important topics in significant depth. Students who take no further courses in the field will find it an excellent resource for developing an appreciation for the nature of mathematics and mathematical thought. Others will discover the foundations for their future studies specifically, set theory, logic, counting, numbers, functions, ordering, probabilities, and other components of higher mathematics. This text covers fewer subjects than many other introductory texts, but its topics are covered in greater depth, with more motivation, and with greater rigor. 1968 ed. 43 figures. 25 tables.
