It provides them with techniques they can use to gain an inside view of the subject, reach other results, remember results more easily, or rederive them if the results are forgotten.A flow chart graphically demonstrates the basic steps in the construction of any proof and numerous examples illustrate the method and detail necessary to prove various kinds of theorems.* The ""List of Symbols"" has been extended.* Set Theory section ha 606 $aProof theory 615 0$aProof theory. 676 $a511.3/6 700 $aCupillari$b Antonella$0627650 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784551203321 996 $aNuts and bolts of proofs$91213908 997 $aUNINA
