Thinking Mathematically unfolds the processes which lie at the heart of mathematics. It demonstrates how to encourage, develop, and foster the processes which seem to come naturally to mathematicians. In this way, a deep seated awareness of the nature of mathematical thinking can grow. The book is increasingly used to provide students at a tertiary level with some experience of mathematical thinking processes.
The examples provided offer both a contextual and procedural base that students can easily build upon. Thinking Mathematically Second Edition 'Every student doing a mathematics degree should read this book.
