Why Prove it Again?
Alternative Proofs in Mathematical Practice
This monograph considers several well-known mathematical theorems and asks the question, Why prove it again? while examining alternative proofs. It explores the different rationales mathematicians may have for pursuing and presenting new proofs of previously established results, as well as how they judge whether two proofs of a given result are different. While a number of books have examined alternative proofs of individual theorems, this is the first that presents comparative case studies of other methods for a variety of different theorems.The author begins by laying out the criteria for distinguishing among proofs and enumerates reaso…
