Excellent Primer !
Blitzer starts off with Inductive and Deductive reasoning and builds from there. Other chapters include Logic, Number Representation, Number Theory, Measurement , Geometry, Counting Methods, Probability Theory, Statistics, and ending with Mathematical Systems. Well written, easy to understand, using a calculator very beneficial. Contains answers for odd numbered problems.Highly recommended. Check for Ediitons with CD Rom and other items.
