Proofs: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook (The Long-Form Math Textbook Series) : desertcart.in: Books Review: Be aware that (I guess Indian) edition is trimmed. - The book is good, but I guess we are getting a trimmed down edition in India. The product description itself is not upto the mark. It says its width is 2.95 cm, but what I got is approx. 1.5 cm. The author's webpage and desertcart.com says that the print length is 511 pages, but we get only 312 pages. No Appendices, Indexes, Preface, acknowledgement in Indian edition. The back cover says that we cover addtional topics like Ramsey theory, Real Analysis..... but these are not available in Indian edition. So, be careful. The pages quality is quite good, but binding is not proper. Pages will come out if not handled carefully. Enjoy! Review: Short version - This version of the book is shortened with things taken out of the original. It is noticeably considerably smaller than the original

The ‘Introduction To’ sections of the book were my favourite and I loved the inclusion of open problems as it builds a curiosity towards mathematics.

Libro eccezionale che non richiede una conoscenza approfondita per poter essere compreso. Le spiegazioni sono molto chiare e le dimostrazioni piacevoli e divertenti da svolgere. L'approccio è molto informale ed aiuta a mantenere alto il livello di attenzione durante lo studio. Consigliatissimo!

I can't say enough good things about this book. It's a math textbook that reads like an entertaining puzzle book. If, like me, you're interested in recreational mathematics, you will have encountered many of the examples before. Even so, you'll find many, many new insights. Lots of good exercises as well. And it goes beyond math; this is a great book on how to approach problem solving of any kind. The combination of rigor, rules-of-thumb, and intuition reminds me of Polya. Texts of this type should be required reading for college freshmen regardless. Plus, at this price, it's a real bargain! I plan to check out other books in this series. I bought it for the Kindle Fire, and it reads well on that device.
