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.Gemignani, Michael C. is the author of 'Basic Concepts of Mathematics and Logic', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486435060 and ISBN 0486435067.
