Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning

6 people recommended it in 3 threads, 2008–2017.
What people on Hacker News said
Teaches the vocabulary of mathematics, just the basics you need to think like a mathematician, not a mathematics user like most science texts.
Another great starting point is "Book of Proofs" and "Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning" to give you a deeper sense of how to approach the subject.
