I agree with the recommendation of An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning in this thread. Another participant has already recommended my favorite for background reading, Concepts of Modern Mathematics by Ian Stewart. http://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Modern-Mathematics-Ian-Stewar... Get that right away. Sawyer's A Mathematician's Delight is surely also good (I've read other books by Sawyer). http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0486462404/ Read those for background as you get my favorite overviews of mathematics: Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang and Numbers and Geometry by Joseph Stillwell. http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Mathematics-Serge-Lang/dp/038796...
