A Readable yet Rigorous Approach to an Essential Part of Mathematical Thinking
Back by popular demand, Real Analysis and Foundations, Third Edition bridges the gap between classic theoretical texts and less rigorous ones, providing a smooth transition from logic and proofs to real analysis. Along with the basic material, the text covers Riemann-Stieltjes integrals, Fourier analysis, metric spaces and applications, and differential equations.
New to the Third Edition
Offering a more streamlined presentation, this edition moves elementary number systems and set theory and logic to appendices and removes the material on wavelet theory, measure theory, differential forms, and the method of characteristics. It also adds a chapter on normed linear spaces and includes more examples and varying levels of exercises.
Extensive Examples and Thorough Explanations Cultivate an In-Depth Understanding
This best-selling book continues to give students a solid foundation in mathematical analysis and its applications. It prepares them for further exploration of measure theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis, and beyond.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Praise for the Second Edition:
"The book is recommended as a source for middle-level mathematical courses. It can be used not only in mathematical departments, but also by physicists, engineers, economists, and other experts in applied sciences who want to understand the main ideas of analysis in order to use them to study mathematical models of different type processes."
-Zentralblatt MATH
"The book contains many well-chosen examples and each of the fifteen chapters is followed by almost 500 exercises. ... Illustrative pictures are instructive and the design of the book makes reading it a real pleasure. The book can be recommended for university libraries, teachers, and students."
