Build a robust foundation

Read this book to build a robust foundation before you continue your intellectual journey with Math. Every word and every paragraph of it is written in a lucid manner. The book makes a right start with carefully selected subject order into the Math. It starts with logic, axiomatic system and proof methods. What you learned here will be richly practiced as you progress. After this introductory opening it continues with set theory (finite, infinite), operations, relations, functions, counting methods, permutations, combinations, graph theory, algebraic structures (ring, field, groups) and finally real numbers. At the end you're ready for Math. I enjoyed much and learned a lot. I can simply say there is two maths for me: BTB and ATB ("Before This Book" and "After This Book"). I also strongly advice "100% proof by Rowan Garnier" before this one (although this one starts with a good introduction to proofs). I've read both books in serial manner, and skipped the first Chapter of this one.
