Analysis cover

This book is an extensive introductory text to mathematical analysis for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, complete with 500 exercises and numerous examples.

This book is a text on mathematical analysis suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. It provides an extensive introduction to proof and to rigorous mathematical thinking. It contains many remarks and examples and 500 exercises designed to provide motivation, test understanding, help practice mathematical writing and explore additional topics.This self-contained text, suitable for advanced undergraduates, provides an extensive introduction to mathematical analysis, from the fundamentals to more advanced material. It begins with the properties of the real numbers and continues with a rigorous treatment of sequences, series, metric spaces, and calculus in one variable. Further subjects include Lebesgue measure and integration on the line, Fourier analysis, and differential equations. In addition to this core material, the book includes a number of interesting applications of the subject matter to areas both within and outside the field of mathematics. The aim throughout is to strike a balance between being too austere or too sketchy, and being so detailed as to obscure the essential ideas. A large number of examples and 500 exercises allow the reader to test understanding, practise mathematical exposition and provide a window into further topics.
