About this ebook

Every mathematician must make the transition from the calculations of high school to the structural and theoretical approaches of graduate school. Essentials of Mathematics provides the knowledge needed to move onto advanced mathematical work and a glimpse of what being a mathematician might be like. No other book takes this particular holistic approach to the task. Essentials of Mathematics is designed as both a textbook and outside reading for college students who want to prepare themselves for mathematics courses beyond the first-year level and take courses in which proofs play a major role. There are also narratives on the nature of mathematics and the mathematics profession.
