I'm not done with the book yet, but I had to leave a review because this intro to proofs is fantastic. As a self learner I can't say how it compares to other books in terms of thoroughness, but I can say I feel like I'm actually *learning.*<br><br>The author writes with a kind of clarity and humor that is far more engaging than almost any other serious math book I've read. If a math book could be a 'page turner,' this is it. It may be written in 'long-form,' style but the time you spend reading more words than typical for a math book, you more than save in understanding concepts on your first or second read through (rather as opposed to staring at a sentence or equation 10 times in a row and failing to understand what's going).<br><br>Reading this book feels like you are genuinely being guided through topics, while still requiring you to struggle with the material. Other books just drop you in a sea of knowledge and hope you can fend for yourself.<br><br>I love this series and can't wait to see what other books the author comes up with! I just wish there were digital versions so I can read on my phone, kindle, or laptop when I am not home.
