Announced 9/29/2008: For those of you looking for some extra material about proofs, or if you just want another perspective, I encourage you to try the following websites (a word of caution: I have not carefully reviewed every part of all of the sites or books listed below, so use them only as a secondary reference):
- Proofs by Larry Cusick, CSU-Fresno contains examples of proof mechanics and a dicussion of proof methods.
- Proofs in Mathematics Contains a short description of proofs along with several examples (you need to scroll down the page to see the examples).
- A quick search of the library catalog brings up the following titles which pertain to mathmatical thinking and proofs. These all can be found in the math research library (Padelford C-Wing, across from the elevator on the third floor):
  - How to read and do proofs - Solow, Daniel ; Math Stacks QA9.54.S65.2005
  - An introduction to mathematical reasoning - Eccles, Peter J. ; Odegaard Reserve QA9.54.E23.1997
  - Proofs and fundamentals - Bloch, Ethan ; Math Stacks QA9.54.B57.2000
  - An introduction to mathematical thinking - Gilbert, William ; Math Stacks QA10.G55.2005
  - And you can find many more by searching for "Proof Theory" in the library catalog.
