I studied CS and electric engineering for 6-7 years total, and both degrees included some pretty math-intense courses, proofs and all. I remember how I really, really wanted an explanation of the underlying proof system but all I got was just more intuitive explanations, all of which felt out of place.

What is unusual is that I kept looking. "How to Prove It" was something I really wish I read ahead of calculus. It is only after this book it clicked for me, all of it. Having understood the rules of the game it became possible to play with math..! Which I still do from time to time.

I think that this material should be taught at high school. Bits of it even earlier.
