Description
This text provides the fundamental concepts and techniques of real analysis for students in all of these areas. It helps one develop the ability to think deductively, analyse mathematical situations and extend ideas to a new context. Like the first three editions, this edition maintains the same spirit and user-friendly approach with addition examples and expansion on Logical Operations and Set Theory. There is also content revision in the following areas: introducing point-set topology before discussing continuity, including a more thorough discussion of limsup and limimf, covering series directly following sequences, adding coverage of Lebesgue Integral and the construction of the reals, and drawing student attention to possible applications wherever possible. 1. Preliminaries. 2. The Real Numbers. 3. Sequences and Series. 4. Limits. 5. Continuous Functions. 6. Differentiation. 7. The Riemann Integral. 8. Sequences of Functions. 9. Infinite Series. 10. The Generalized Riemann Integral. 11. A Glimpse into Topology. Appendix A: Logic and Proofs. Appendix B: Finite and Countable Sets. Appendix C: The Riemann And Lebesgue Criteria. Appendix D: Approximate Integration. Appendix E: Two Examples. References. Photo Credits. Hints for Selected Exercises. Index.
