Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Key differences between 3rd and 2nd editions

• Period between current and previous publications: 5 years (2012 vs 2007).
• Chartrand/Polimeni/Zhang's Mathematical Proofs book was first published in 2002.
• The Third Ed. consists of 13 chapters as its predecessor, but contains 32 pages more.
• More than 250 new exercises, including many challenging exercises at the end of exercise sets.
• New examples have been added and heavily revised with new proofs.
• Chapter 13 "Proofs in Group Theory" has been expanded to include coverage of cosets and Lagrange’s theorem.
• The important topic of quantified statements is now introduced in Section "2.10 Quantified Statements" and reviewed in Section "7.2 Revisiting Quantified Statements"
