Part 2 covers sets, relations, functions, infinite sets, and mathematical proofs and reasoning. <br>Author Dennis Sentilles also discusses the history and development of mathematics as well as the reasons behind axiom systems and their uses. He assumes no prior knowledge of proofs or logic, and he takes an intuitive approach that builds into a formal development. Advanced undergraduate students of mathematics and engineering will find this volume an excellent source of instruction, reinforcement, and review.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dennis Sentilles is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Missouri.
