The book continually seeks to build upon students' intuitive ideas of how numbers and arithmetic work, and to guide them towards the means to embed this natural understanding into a more structured framework of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author’s motivation for writing this book is that most previous texts, which have complete coverage of the subject, have not provided the level of explanation needed for first-year students. On the other hand, those that do give good explanations tend to focus broadly on Foundations or Analysis and provide incomplete coverage of Number Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproachable for students who have not yet studied mathematics beyond school\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not merely present definitions, theorems and proofs, but also motivates them in terms of intuitive knowledge and discusses methods of proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws attention to connections with other areas of mathematics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlenty of exercises for students, both straightforward problems and more in-depth investigations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces many concepts that are required in more advanced topics in mathematics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40810262888545,"sku":"9780367180652","price":196.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/6706b2b09a71f4d6e0f2536d37ffe47e.png?v=1682674878","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367180652-number-systems","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
