The book continually seeks to build upon students' intuitive ideas of how numbers and arithmetic work, and to guide them towards the means to embed this natural understanding into a more structured framework of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's motivation for writing this book is that most previous texts, which have complete coverage of the subject, have not provided the level of explanation needed for first-year students. On the other hand, those that do give good explanations tend to focus broadly on Foundations or Analysis and provide incomplete coverage of Number Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eApproachable for students who have not yet studied mathematics beyond school\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoes not merely present definitions, theorems and proofs, but also motivates them in terms of intuitive knowledge and discusses methods of proof\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraws attention to connections with other areas of mathematics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlenty of exercises for students, both straightforward problems and more in-depth investigations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces many concepts that are required in more advanced topics in mathematics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Kay\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences at Loughborough University for 32 years up to his retirement in 2020.
