Understanding the concepts and methods of real analysis is an essential skill for every undergraduate mathematics student. Written in an easy-to-read style, Real Analysis is a comprehensive introduction to this core subject and is ideal for self-study or as a course textbook for first and second-year undergraduates. Combining an informal style with precision mathematics, Real Analysis covers all the key topics with fully worked examples and exercises with solutions. Featuring: * Sequences and series - considering the central notion of a limit * Continuous functions * Differentiation * Integration * Logarithmic and exponential functions * Uniform convergence * Circular functions All these concepts and techniques are deployed in examples in the final chapter to provide the student with a thorough understanding of this challenging subject.

From the reviews: Written in an easy-to-read style, combining informality with precision, the book is ideal for self-study or as a course textbook for first-and second-year undergraduates. Zentralblatt MATH ...the transition from the mysteries of real-analysis to the majesty of real analysis will be smoothed by this engaging, readable text. The Mathematical Gazette "This book is the distillation of Howie's considerable experience in teaching the introductory real analysis course: he adopts a concrete, pragmatic approach ... . The most striking feature of Real Analysis is ... the author's Ferrar-like concern for the reader's understanding which shines through on every page of his carefully written and carefully paced text. ... There are numerous worked examples and some 190 accessible, impeccably pitched exercises ... another attractive feature is the inclusion of full names and dates for all mathematicians mentioned." (Nick Lord, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 85 (504), 2001) "The book is a clear and structured introduction to real analysis. ... Fully worked out examples and exercises with solutions extend and illustrate the theory. Written in an easy-to-read style, combining informality and precision, the book is ideal for self-study or as a course textbook for first- and second-year undergraduates." (I. Rasa, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 969, 2001)
