<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This text makes a great supplement and provides a systematic approach for teaching undergraduate and graduate students how to read, understand, think about, and do proofs. The approach is to categorize, identify, and explain (at the student's level) the various techniques that are used repeatedly in all proofs, regardless of the subject in which the proofs arise. <i>How to Read and Do Proofs</i> also explains when each technique is likely to be used, based on certain key words that appear in the problem under consideration. Doing so enables students to choose a technique consciously, based on the form of the problem.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The instructional material is to the point, with well-considered examples and asides on common mistakes. Good examples of the author's thoughtfulness appear in the discourses on pp. 5-6 of identifying the hypothesis and conclusion when they are not obvious, on pp. 28-29 regarding overlapping notation, and on pp. 190-191 of the advantages and disadvantages of generalization.
