This book is a great boon for the math self study community. I cannot recommend it enough. Another very good book on introductions to proofs is written by Jay Cummings and I recommend that as well, but this book by Hammack is better for a few reasons I'll describe below. I own a few books that are introduction to Proofs but this is by far the easiest to read and has multiple great examples as well as plenty of practice problems for each topic. It is such an easy read that I can pull it out while in bed which I rarely am capable of doing with a math textbook. There are also solutions to odd numbered problems "chef's kiss". There is a free PDF online but the book was very cheap to purchase and is still good quality and doesn't fall apart with heavy use. This is one of the most "readable" math books I own and perfect for self study. There are even youtube channel " MathMajor " that follow this book and give lectures so you really can teach this to yourself just as well as a 3000 level math majors class. I'd suggest starting this directly after a Calc 2 class so you have sequences and series fresh in your memory. It is very approachable. The new sections in the 3rd addition include basic analysis with definitions for derivatives and limits. This is a topic that is good to include in a book like this because it can be daunting to read this in an analysis class for the first time. This book includes plenty of pictures and examples to help with some of these very conceptual ideas. Review: Great book and fantastic packaging. Takes some time to ship and get delivered. - Great introductory to proofs book! I was already going through the online version of the book, which is free, however I wanted to grab a physical book for my collection. The book came in pretty much perfect condition considering I ordered paperback (worried about book being damaged from shipping). The packaging was fantastic. It did take some time to get delivered (about three weeks), so I would definitely take that into consideration if you are using this book for a college course.

There ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Discrete maths textbook, very well structured! *by E***N on April 11, 2017* I am an undergraduate freshman student majoring in maths and physics. This year I am taking a course of Discrete mathematics and I shall say it is one of the easiest courses I ever had. This is the book we use for our class and I truly enjoy it. The book is chaptered in a great, organized way. Every chapter has its subchapters and exercises after each subchapter. It is quick and easy studying with this book and all odd numbered problems have the solutions in the back, which is a nice way to check yourself. The author has a suggestion for professors or individual students to use as a study plan the schedule that he presented in the beginning of the book. The book is progressing through chapters and sometimes lack of the knowledge of previous chapters can become an obstacle in learning next ones. Discrete mathematics is the first steps of introduction of formal proof to maths students. This is one of the most important areas of mathematics and very fundamental. It is necessary to grasp the material of this course well to successfully progress further in mathematics. This is probably the best and most well-structured maths textbook I came across (it is also superlight) and I just love it! Online free copy is also available if you prefer to have it that way (brief google search will help you find it). Overall, regardless if you are a professor or a curious student, I definitely recommend this book for studying discrete maths. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/6015269-book-of-proof](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/6015269-book-of-proof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
