Ask HN: How to learn mathematical proofs from scratch?
Math undergrad student here. As another comment has already mentioned we really start learning proofs in Analysis I (the introductory Linear Algebra course in my school wasn&#x27;t proof heavy) but before that at least in my school we take Intro to math I and Intro to math II, I can&#x27;t recommend you a book but the topics that are covered are usually basic set theory, rules of logical inference and induction. For Analysis I my prof used baby Rudin however I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s a good book for self study (I&#x27;m a bit biased here since I&#x27;m really having a hard time with baby Rudin). Two books that are somewhat a more gentle introduction to Analysis are Kenneth A. Ross&#x27; Elementary Analysis and Abbott&#x27;s Understanding Analysis.
