Books like How to prove it by Daniel J. Velleman


Many students struggle when a mathematics course introduces proofs. This updated edition of Daniel J. Velleman’s proven text helps students transition from problem solving to theorem proving by teaching the essential logic, set theory, and proof techniques. Beginning with foundational concepts, the book breaks down the construction of proofs for natural numbers, relations, functions, and infinite sets, using detailed scratch‑work examples. With over 200 new exercises, selected solutions, and an introduction to Proof Designer software, it provides ample practice. No background beyond standard high‑school mathematics is required, making it useful for mathematicians, computer scientists, philosophers, linguists, and anyone interested in the logic of proofs.

The Essential Turing by 12059306|Alan Mathison Turing book cover

📘 The Essential Turing

"Alan Turing, pioneer of computing and World War II code-breaker, was one of the most important and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. The astonishing output of his tragically short life included the universal Turing Machine (the theoretical foundation of all modern computing), the electro-mechanical 'bombes' used at Bletchley Park to decipher the Enigma code, his ground-breaking design for an electronic stored-programme computer, and work on artificial intelligence and artificial life so revolutionary that he can claim to be the founding father of these disciplines. In this book, Turing's key writings in all these subjects are made easily accessible for the first time. Lectures, scientific papers, top secret wartime material, correspondence, and broadcasts are introduced and set in context by Jack Copeland, Director of the Turing Archive for the History of Computing."--Jacket.
