Description
It is a pleasure and a privilege to write this new edition of A Primer 0/ Real Ana lytic Functions. The theory of real analytic functions is the wellspring of mathe matical analysis. It is remarkable that this is the first book on the subject, and we want to keep it up to date and as correct as possible. With these thoughts in mind, we have utilized helpful remarks and criticisms from many readers and have thereby made numerous emendations. We have also added material. There is a now a treatment of the Weierstrass preparation theorem, a new argument to establish Hensel's lemma and Puiseux's theorem, a new treat ment of Faa di Bruno's forrnula, a thorough discussion of topologies on spaces of real analytic functions, and a second independent argument for the implicit func tion theorem. We trust that these new topics will make the book more complete, and hence a more useful reference. It is a pleasure to thank our editor, Ann Kostant of Birkhäuser Boston, for mak ing the publishing process as smooth and trouble-free as possible. We are grateful for useful communications from the readers of our first edition, and we look for ward to further constructive feedback.
Reviews / Votes
"This is the second, improved edition of the only existing monograph devoted to real-analytic functions, whose theory is rightly considered in the preface 'the wellspring of mathematical analysis.' Organized in six parts, [with] a very rich bibliography and an index, this book is both a map of the subject and its history. Proceeding from the most elementary to the most advanced aspects, it is useful for both beginners and advanced researchers. Names such as Cauchy-Kowalewsky (Kovalevskaya), Weierstrass, Borel, Hadamard, Puiseux, Pringsheim, Besicovitch, Bernstein, Denjoy-Carleman, Paley-Wiener, Whitney, Gevrey, Lojasiewicz, Grauert and many others are involved either by their results or by their concepts." -MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "Bringing together results scattered in various journals or books and presenting them in a clear and systematic manner, the book is of interest first of all for analysts, but also for applied mathematicians and researchers in real algebraic geometry." -ACTA APPLICANDAE MATHEMATICAEMore details

Steven G. Krantz is one of Springer's and Birkhäuser's most prolific and popular authors in the field of functional analysis, geometric analysis, and partial differential equations. Krantz is the series editor of Birkhäuser's ' Cornerstones' graduate text series and the founder and editor-in-chief of "The Journal of Geometric Analysis", considered a society journal previously published by the AMS and often acts as an advisor to several senior editors at Springer/ Birkhäuser . He is also editor-in-chief of the "Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications". Professor Krantz is currently the editor-in-chief of the AMS Notices and also edits for "The American Mathematical Monthly", "Complex Analysis and Elliptical Equations", and "The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Monthly". Krantz is also known for his wide breadth of expertise in several areas of mathematics such as harmonica analysis, differential geometry, and Lie groups, to name a few. Notable awards include Chauvenet Prize (1992), Beckenbach Book Award (1994), Kemper Prize (1994), Outstanding Academic Book Award (1998), Washington University Faculty Mentor Award (2007).
