It is written in an approachable, engaging style of question-and-answer, with the characteristic humor of \u003ci\u003eThe Little Schemer \u003c\/i\u003e(fourth edition, MIT Press). Sometimes the best way to learn something is to sit down and do it; the book takes readers through step-by-step examples showing how to write inductive proofs. \u003ci\u003eThe Little Prover \u003c\/i\u003eassumes only knowledge of recursive programs and lists (as presented in the first three chapters of \u003ci\u003eThe Little Schemer\u003c\/i\u003e) and uses only a few terms beyond what novice programmers already know. The book comes with a simple proof assistant to help readers work through the book and complete solutions to every example.\u003c\/p\u003eDaniel P.
