Teaching Yourself Math Proof Writing

In this video I talk about a really great book you can use to learn how to write proofs. It is called How To Prove It and it was written by Velleman.

I appreciate that you do repeat reviews of books like these. I forget about them sometimes

[martinhawrylkiewicz]

Really love this book! I got it off eBay based on your recommendation, studying it every single day and have been doing the exercises, done a bit challenging. I'm on chapter 4 now on Relations. Really love it.
Another good one is Book of Proof by Richard Hammack

Love this channel, I actually read a bunch of how to write proofs as a maths undergraduate at university

[douglasstrother]

Years ago, I needed to know something about Group Theory (motivated by crystal symmetry and electronic structure), so I took an Abstract Algebra course from the Mathematics Department. I'm a Physics/Engineering Geek, so I compute stuff; and trust the Mathematicians to prove stuff. I went into the class without "knowing the rules of the game".

[michaelkoch]

Yes, that is true. This proof-oriented reasoning is the highest level that can be achieved in mathematics. Many professors, especially the good old professors, rightly say that you only learn to prove things after university, namely in research. Best regards.

I read that book for a class on writing proofs. It was an enjoyable experience. Of course, occasionally it was challenging; some of the proofs are pretty lengthy. But the deductive process is well-defined in each of many types of logical reasoning.

[GasNikolai]

Among all proof writing books that I have read, this one is unique and the most that I like

[ln_cript]

I've heard nothing but positive things about this book, im planning on getting it this week! BTW you should do more livestreams, you haven't done one in forever!

[willdecorus]

The most recent edition, edition 3, has solutions to at least some of the exercises from each chapter in an appendix at the back. Continues to be a great book.

[argonwheatbelly]

I have this book. Pretty excellent! Get it. Give it a shot.

[ntutfitness]

Get to this channel is my first thing in the morning 😊

Thank you so much for this video. I'd like to ask you something: Which one is better, Cummings book or this one you have showed in this video?

[firstname]

I thought your most recent proofs book was "Proofs: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook" by Jay Cummings

[alevyts]

I also have these books:
The Nuts and Bolts of Proofs by Antonella Cupillari
How to Read and Do Proofs by Daniel Solow

[Mo.Faried]

Sorry for off the topic question. I found your amazing courses on Udemy and planning to take most of them. I just don't know how to navigate them. If you can guide me with a roadmap, this will be perfect.

[pinedelgado]

Got it in my personal math library here at home!!! Yaaaay!!!

[fioscotm]

came at the perfect time... i was just recently wanting to learn proofs lol

[kiara]

The one I bought on Amazon has solutions for selected exercises! I believe it was a new edition, I am not quite sure.

[simpleprogrammingcodes]

I want to learn mathematics, but I have no idea how proofs work... Thank you for the video!

[sncrrpnt]

I think the proof writing book by Chartrand and co “Transition to Advanced Mathematics” is superior to this book by Velleman. Especially considering that the Chartrand book gives detailed answers
