Real Analysis

Foundations and Functions of One Variable

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on courses given at Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) over the past 30 years, this introductory textbook develops the central concepts of the analysis of functions of one variable - systematically, with many examples and illustrations, and in a manner that builds upon, and sharpens, the student's mathematical intuition. The book provides a solid grounding in the basics of logic and proofs, sets, and real numbers, in preparation for a study of the main topics: limits, continuity, rational functions and transcendental functions, differentiation, and integration. Numerous applications to other areas of mathematics, and to physics, are given, thereby demonstrating the practical scope and power of the theoretical concepts treated.

In the spirit of learning-by-doing, Real Analysis includes more than 500 engaging exercises for the student keen on mastering the basics of analysis. The wealth of material, and modular organization, of the book make it adaptable as a textbook for courses of various levels; the hints and solutions provided for the more challenging exercises make it ideal for independent study.

Rezensionen

"This book develops a thorough treatment of multivariate derivatives, viewing them both as linear transformations and as partial derivatives. ... The book is consistent in addressing the classical analysis of real functions of several variables. This volume will appeal to students in pure and applied mathematics, as well as scientists looking to acquire a firm footing in mathematical analysis." (Teodora-Liliana Radulescu, zbMATH 1407.26001, 2019)

"The explicit intent of the authors is to present material gradually, and to develop precision based on intuition with the help of well-designed examples. The book contains 600 exercises. In my opinion this interesting book represents an alternative viewpoint in real analysis." (Zbigniew Grande, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2018)
