The abstract concepts of metric spaces are often perceived as
difficult. This book offers a unique approach to the subject which
gives readers the advantage of a new perspective on ideas familiar
from the analysis of a real line. Rather than passing quickly from
the definition of a metric to the more abstract concepts of
convergence and continuity, the author takes the concrete notion of
distance as far as possible, illustrating the text with examples
and naturally arising questions. Attention to detail at this stage
is designed to prepare the reader to understand the more abstract
ideas with relative ease.
