I recently read about the Moore method for learning mathematics (Moore method Wikipedia) and wanted to apply it to my own learning (undergraduate level). However, I am unable to find any books that follow such a method or something similar.
Specifically, I'm looking for books that introduce the reader to important mathematical concepts through problems/questions rather than blocks of text (for instance, instead of the book proving Lagrange's theorem in group theory, the reader is presented with a question which guides the reader by introducing the definition of cosets etc., so that the reader can prove it themself). I am not very picky about the topic, for I have not been able to find such books on any topic so far. Any recommendations? Thanks.
It’s long out of print, but John Greever’s Theory and Examples of Point-Set Topology is such a book. He does prove a few of the most difficult theorems and treat some of the more complicated examples in detail, but for the most part he gives you the definitions and the statements of the theorems, and you have to supply the proofs.
He wrote it because that’s how he taught the undergraduate topology course: at each class meeting he’d simply ask the next student on the roster to present the next theorem, and we were supposed to work far enough ahead to be prepared. (I took the course when the book was still in manuscript; it was one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve ever had, though I suspect that quite a few of my fellow students had a different opinion!)
