This innovative textbook introduces a new pattern-based approach to learning proof methods in the mathematical sciences. Readers will discover techniques that will enable them to learn new proofs across different areas of pure mathematics with ease. The patterns in proofs from diverse fields such as algebra, analysis, topology and number theory are explored. Specific topics examined include game theory, combinatorics and Euclidean geometry, enabling a broad familiarity.

The author, an experienced lecturer and researcher renowned for his innovative view and intuitive style, illuminates a wide range of techniques and examples from duplicating the cube to triangulating polygons to the infinitude of primes to the fundamental theorem of algebra. Intended as a companion for undergraduate students, this text is an essential addition to every aspiring mathematician's toolkit.

Industry Reviews
"The book is about how to learn proofs in mathematics. ... The book basically intends to teach the reader the basics of how proofs are carried out in several areas of mathematics. ... If you are a student and want to learn more about proofs and how proofs are build and used in several areas of mathematics then this book is for you. I hope you enjoy and that you may become a master in proofs!" (Philosophy, Religion and Science, June, 2016)
