CHAPTER 1 The Foundations: Logic and Proof, Sets, and Functions
... Once you think you see what is involved, you need to write down the proof. In doing so, pay attention both to content (does each statement follow logically? are you making any fallacious arguments? are you leaving out any cases or using hidden assumptions?) and to style. There are certain convention ...

Chapter 6: The Deductive Characterization of Logic

Generally, a sequence σ has a first element σ 1, a second element σ 2, etc. If σ is n-long, then σ n is the last element of σ. Also, to say that σ is a sequence of so-and-so’s is to say that each σ i is ...
