NDLI: The Structure Of Mathematical Proofs

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Taylor, John Garnier, Rowan
Copyright Year	2016
Description	In this chapter we introduce the key features of mathematical proof. It is very hard, some would say impossible, to dene precisely what is meant by a mathematical proof as mathematicians themselves write them. The notion of proof in certain logical systems may be dened quite precisely, but this does not really describe what mathematicians do when constructing their proofs. The following professional mathematician's denition of proof, given by Slomson [11], serves as a useful starting point. Book Name: Understanding Mathematical Proof
