5.0 out of 5 stars Do it yourself proofs!, December 30, 1999

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Discovering Higher Mathematics: Four Habits of Highly Effective Mathematicians (Hardcover)
I needed a refresher course (after being away from grad school for 30 years!) and was intrigued by the approach: discover the flavor of the topic by experimenting, then often resolving this into a formal proof by your self.

The book is sufficiently short to be quite approcable yet reasonably complete. It has stimulated me to reading other more formal books such as A First Course in Abstract Algebra by John Fraleigh and Elements of Modern Algebra by Jimmie & Linda Gilbert.
