From calculus to analysis

This comprehensive textbook is intended for a two-semester sequence in analysis. The first four chapters present a practical introduction to analysis by using the tools and concepts of calculus. The last five chapters present a firstcourse in analysis. The presentation is clear and concise, allowing students to master the calculus tools that are crucial in understanding analysis. From Calculus to Analysis prepares readers for their first analysis course—important because many undergraduate programs traditionally require such a course. Undergraduates and some advanced high-school seniors will find this text a usefuland pleasant experience in the classroom or as a self-study guide. The only prerequisite is a standard calculus course. Contains excellent exercise sets. Introduces the principles of real analysis, as a formidable counterpart to calculus. Places appropriate emphasis on techniques and definitions. Carefully written book with a thoughtful perspectivefor students. INDICE: Preface.
