In 2020 several professors built online
courses using Book of Proof (links below). Let me know
if you'd like your own contributions posted here! (I
hope to eventually create online video lectures for a course
based on my book, but it's a big project. For now, see my Calculus
I course.)
- Here
is a link to Professor Valerie Hower's YouTube
playlist for lectures in her online course Introduction
to Mathematical Reasoning (MATH 1365) at Northeastern
University. The course textbook is Book of Proof.
- Here
is a link to Professor Michael Penn's YouTube
playlist for lectures in his course Techniques
of Mathematical Proof (MATH 234) at Randolph
College. The course textbook is Book of Proof.
- Here
is a link to Professor Jeremy Teitlebaum's online
course (including video lectures) Transition to Higher
Mathematics (MATH 2710W) at University of
Connecticut. The course textbook is Book of Proof.
- Here is
a link for Richard Hammack's page for VCU's MATH
300, the course that Book of Proof was originally
written for. The page has a syllabus, calendar, sample
tests, etc.
Sample Tests
Here are some sample tests from courses that
used Book of Proof. Let's build a test bank. Please
consider sending your own contributions!

Request for Sample Tests and
Additional Exercises
I'd like to post more sample tests, and I
also plan to build an on-line bank of additional exercises for Book
of Proof here. If you have material that you'd like to
contribute, please send it to me. My idea is to post some
exercises with solutions and some without solutions.
(I believe it is vitally important for students to be exposed to
plenty of problems with no ready solutions. Life is full of
problems with solutions that can't be looked up, and math should
be the same way!)
I see the purpose of a sample test as more of a study guide, so
it would be good to have both a blank and solved version of each
test. However, I will also accept tests without solutions.
- If possible, please submit PDF files for tests. I can also
work with LaTeX code.
- Please indicate exactly which chapters and/or sections are
(or are not) represented on each test.
- If possible, please submit new exercises (and solutions,
if applicable) in both LaTeX and a PDF.
- Clearly indicate which Chapter (or section) each exercise
belongs to.
- I'd like to maintain a list of contributors. Let me know
if you prefer not to be listed.
Thanks!
