For serious math majors only
I bought this book for my "Bridge to Higher Math" course that was required for my Computer Science major. I hadn't taken any other math courses prior to this, and this book definitely was not a big help. Of course, if you're buying this book, you most likely are a math major. Good luck with whatever math course you're using it for.

Great book!
Great book! I bought this for a class I had to take, and it is very useful and user friendly. It's not huge, and it is very helpful in teaching how to write proofs.

Just as good as the American Edition
Very useful in class. Examples are explained fairly well. No differences so far between international edition and American edition.

What I bought is the international edition: cheaper and less heavy than the US version. The materials inside are all the same. Highly recommended
