Introduction to Real Analysis

Introduction to Real Analysis Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

This textbook is designed for a one-year course in real analysis at the junior or senior level. An understanding of real analysis is necessary for the study of advanced topics in mathematics and the physical sciences, and is helpful to advanced students of engineering, economics, and the social sciences. Stoll, who teaches at the U. of South Carolina, presents examples and counterexamples to illustrate topics such as the structure of point sets, limits and continuity, differentiation, and orthogonal functions and Fourier series. The second edition includes a self-contained proof of Lebesgue's theorem and a new appendix on logic and proofs.
