The author, a leading research mathematician, presents a series of engaging and compelling mathematical statements with interesting elementary proofs. These proofs capture a wide range of topics, including number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, the theory of games, geometry, infinity, order theory, and real analysis. The goal is to show students and aspiring mathematicians how to write proofs with elegance and precision.1 A Classical Beginning\u003cbr\u003e2 Multiple Proofs\u003cbr\u003e3 Number Theory\u003cbr\u003e4 Mathematical Induction\u003cbr\u003e5 Discrete Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e6 Proofs Without Words\u003cbr\u003e7 Theory of Games\u003cbr\u003e8 Pick's Theorem\u003cbr\u003e9 Lattice-Point Polygons\u003cbr\u003e10 Polygonal Dissection Congruence Theorem\u003cbr\u003e11 Functions and Relations\u003cbr\u003e12 Graph Theory\u003cbr\u003e13 Infinity\u003cbr\u003e14 Order Theory\u003cbr\u003e15 Real AnalysisJoel David Hamkins is Professor of Logic at Oxford University and Sir Peter Strawson Fellow in Philosophy at University College, Oxford.
