The gap between the rote, calculational learning mode of calculus and ordinary differential equations and the more theoretical learning mode of analysis and abstract algebra grows ever wider and more distinct, and students' need for a well-guided transition grows with it. For more than six years, the bestselling first edition of this classic text has helped them cross the mathematical bridge to more advanced studies in topics such as topology, abstract algebra, and real analysis. Carefully revised, expanded, and brought thoroughly up to date, the Elements of Advanced Mathematics, Second Edition now does the job even better, building the background, tools, and skills students need to meet the challenges of mathematical rigor, axiomatics, and proofs.

New in the Second Edition:

Expanded explanations of propositional, predicate, and first-order logic, especially valuable in theoretical computer science

A chapter that explores the deeper properties of the real numbers, including topological issues and the Cantor set

Fuller treatment of proof techniques with expanded discussions on induction, counting arguments, enumeration, and dissection

Streamlined treatment of non-Euclidean geometry

Discussions on partial orderings, total ordering, and well orderings that fit naturally into the context of relations

More thorough treatment of the Axiom of Choice and its equivalents

Additional material on Russell's paradox and related ideas

Expanded treatment of group theory that helps students grasp the axiomatic method

A wealth of added exercises
