An introductory text designed to entice non-math majors to think mathematically. The reader is gradually led from basic algebra to the point of actively performing mathematical research while getting a glimpse of current mathematical frontiers. The writing style is informal and includes many numerical examples which are analyzed for patterns and used to make conjectures. The emphasis is on the methods used for proving theorems rather than on specific results.

This book is friendly. The author walks you through a proof by presenting plausible evidence that the proof might be true and then sharpens up a heuristic argument to make the proof airtight. For an introduction, it contains fairly advanced materials usually not seen: If you want to understand Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, for example, you will find it in this book.
