Hey All,
I'm starting to learn proofs. Is there a good website that starts with the simplest proofs, and goes from there?
I've googled this, but thought maybe some of you may know something that isn't easily found.
I can also get books from Ohio State, so maybe some book suggestions?
I'm interested in learning from resources that hand hold, if you know what I mean. Stuff that doesn't assume that I know anything.
Ok, Thanks,
Steve
