What to read before starting a maths degree?

Hi everyone, I'm off to University to study Maths in September, I'm doing Further maths A level so I was wondering if there's anything you guys would suggest reading up on after my exams next month and before I go in September, thanks :)

I would suggest you to take a look at this book - How to Prove It - A Structured Approach, Velleman. It will teach you how to do proofs, it would help you a great deal with Abstract Algebra. Another book (slightly tougher, imo) is - Reading, Writing & Proving by Daepp & Gorkin.

Basically, learn how to do proofs and then practice it, that's all you would need.
