Beschreibung
This text provides a lively introduction to pure mathematics. It begins with sets, functions and relations, proof by induction and contradiction, complex numbers, vectors and matrices, and provides a brief introduction to group theory. It moves onto analysis, providing a gentle introduction to epsilon-delta technology and finishes with continuity and functions. The book features numerous exercises of varying difficulty throughout the text.

Zusammenfassung
This book introduces the reader to pure mathematics and bridges the gap between school and university work. The text combines humour and insight, making it a less formal and more lively read than most other textbooks.
