Some basic methods of proof such as mathematical induction, dir...

One of the most significant tasks facing mathematics educators is to understand the role of mathematical reasoning and proving in mathematics teaching, so that its presence in instruction can be enhanced. This challenge has been given even greater importance by the assignment to proof of a more prominent place in the mathematics curriculum at all levels.Along with this renewed emphasis, there has been an upsurge in research on the teaching and...
