Welcome to Real Analysis is designed for use in an introductory
undergraduate course in real analysis. Much of the development is
in the setting of the general metric space. The book makes
substantial use not only of the real line and $n$-dimensional
Euclidean space, but also sequence and function spaces. Proving and
extending results from single-variable calculus provides motivation
throughout. The more abstract ideas come to life in meaningful and
accessible applications. For example, the contraction mapping
principle is used to prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for
solutions of ordinary differential equations and the existence of
certain fractals; the continuity of the integration operator on the
space of continuous functions on a compact interval paves the way
for some results about power series. The exposition is exceedingly
clear and well-motivated. There are a wide variety of exercises and
many pedagogical innovations. For example, each chapter includes
Reading Questions so that students can check their understanding.
In addition to the standard material in a first real analysis
course, the book contains two concluding chapters on dynamical
systems and fractals as an illustration of the power of the theory
developed.
