Abstract
In this paper we present the analysis of the mathematical proof in textbooks of the last three Spanish Educations Laws and two last courses of Secondary Education. The article presents a summary of the procedures for establishing the theorems of Bolzano, Darboux and Weierstrass in four textbook publishers. We have developed some analysis categories which integrate proof schemes, proof functions, preformal proofs and different types of proofs, and a historical research methodology. Finally, we describe the analysis and conclusions of the study.
