Looking for a head start in your undergraduate degree in mathematics? Maybe you've already started your degree and feel bewildered by the subject you previously loved? Don't panic! This friendly companion will ease your transition to real mathematical thinking. Working through the book you will develop an arsenal of techniques to help you unlock the meaning of definitions, theorems and proofs, solve problems, and write mathematics effectively. All the major methods of proof - direct method, cases, induction, contradiction and contrapositive - are featured. Concrete examples are used throughout, and you'll get plenty of practice on topics common to many courses such as divisors, Euclidean algorithms, modular arithmetic, equivalence relations, and injectivity and surjectivity of functions. The material has been tested by real students over many years so all the essentials are covered. With over 300 exercises to help you test your progress, you'll soon learn how to think like a mathematician.

Chess puzzles for the Casual Player, Vol. 1 contains 50 highly instructive puzzles illustrated by 776 move by move diagrams. Each puzzle contains two parts (see sample puzzles at www.chesspuzzlebook.com ). First, you are shown a move that may seem good but is actually bad and asked how to take advantage of it.

The study of mathematical symbols and the rules governing their operations is called algebra. It finds applications across various sub-domains within mathematics. Algebra utilizes letters to represent numerical values. Major branches of algebra include elementary algebra and abstract algebra. Elementary algebra centers on the study of variables and polynomials. Abstract algebra delves into abstraction, including groups, rings, fields, and elementary equation solving. It finds applications in fields like algebraic topology and algebraic number theory. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of algebra. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of this field. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
