There are a great deal of books on introductory analysis in print
today, many written by mathematicians of the first rank. The
publication of another such book therefore warrants a defense. I
have taught analysis for many years and have used a variety of
texts during this time. These books were of excellent quality
mathematically but did not satisfy the needs of the students I was
teaching. They were written for mathematicians but not for those
who were first aspiring to attain that status. The desire to fill
this gap gave rise to the writing of this book. This book is
intended to serve as a text for an introductory course in analysis.
Its readers will most likely be mathematics, science, or
engineering majors undertaking the last quarter of their
undergraduate education. The aim of a first course in analysis is
to provide the student with a sound foundation for analysis, to
familiarize him with the kind of careful thinking used in advanced
mathematics, and to provide him with tools for further work in it.
The typical student we are dealing with has completed a
three-semester calculus course and possibly an introductory course
in differential equations. He may even have been exposed to a
semester or two of modern algebra. All this time his training has
most likely been intuitive with heuristics taking the place of
proof. This may have been appropriate for that stage of his
development.
