A Bridge to Advanced Mathematics : From Natural to Complex Numbers

Cioaba and Linde offer a resource for students who are familiar with formal mathematical proof writing but would like further preparation before taking higher mathematics courses like abstract algebra and real analysis. They walk students through various number systems, starting with the most familiar ones-natural numbers-and finish with complex numbers. Seeking a balance between practice writing proofs with understanding and assimilating new mathematical content, they cover natural numbers N, integer numbers Z, rational numbers Q, real numbers R, sequences of real numbers, and complex numbers C.
