Written Resources
Naive Set Theory by Paul Halmos
Mathematics and its History by John Stillwell (This is a versatile book. Some chapters are appropriate for students at all levels, most are suitable for students who have taken calculus, and a few at the end are ideal for students who have seen some group theory.)
Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler (Most suitable for students who have taken linear algebra)
Most suitable for students with prior exposure to proof-based mathematics:
Primes of the Form x^2+ny^2 : Fermat, Class Field Theory, and Complex Multiplication by David A. Cox
Matrix Groups for Undergraduates by Kristopher Tapp (Suitable for students who have taken linear algebra and a proof-based mathematics course)
