Robert Carlson

A Concrete Introduction to Real Analysis (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Second Edition offers a major re-organization of the book, with the goal of making it much more competitive as a text for students. The revised edition will be appropriate for a one- or two-semester introductory real analysis course. Like the first edition, the primary audience are students who will never take a graduate level analysis course.

Rezensionen

This is the second, revised edition of a textbook for a course that would typically follow an introductory calculus course in the standard American curriculum. The intended student readers would be those planning to continue with more advanced mathematics, or those in areas that require an understanding of mathematics from a conceptual perspective. While there are many texts with this focus, and libraries may already have several, this one is a bit different. It approaches the subject in an easy-to-read and intuitive manner, rather than in the more rigidly traditional "definition, theorem, proof" approach. It doesn't cover as much material as some other texts, since it approaches the topics through a historical, contextual lens. Even so, a library may wish to consider this book, even if it has an existing real analysis collection. It will appeal to the student who is struggling with the structured formalism of more traditional texts. Enhancing its utility for self-study, the book includes complete solutions to half of the exercises. It contains a short bibliography, mostly of classic mathematical analysis books.
