An accessible introduction to real analysis and its connection to
elementary calculus
Bridging the gap between the development and history of real
analysis, "Introduction to Real Analysis: An Educational Approach"
presents a comprehensive introduction to real analysis while also
offering a survey of the field. With its balance of historical
background, key calculus methods, and hands-on applications, this
book provides readers with a solid foundation and fundamental
understanding of real analysis.
The book begins with an outline of basic calculus, including a
close examination of problems illustrating links and potential
difficulties. Next, a fluid introduction to real analysis is
presented, guiding readers through the basic topology of real
numbers, limits, integration, and a series of functions in natural
progression. The book moves on to analysis with more rigorous
investigations, and the topology of the line is presented along
with a discussion of limits and continuity that includes unusual
examples in order to direct readers' thinking beyond intuitive
reasoning and on to more complex understanding. The dichotomy of
pointwise and uniform convergence is then addressed and is followed
by differentiation and integration. Riemann-Stieltjes integrals and
the Lebesgue measure are also introduced to broaden the presented
perspective. The book concludes with a collection of advanced
topics that are connected to elementary calculus, such as modeling
with logistic functions, numerical quadrature, Fourier series, and
special functions.
Detailed appendices outline key definitions and theorems in
elementary calculus and also present additional proofs, projects,
and sets in real analysis. Each chapter references historical
sources on real analysis while also providing proof-oriented
exercises and examples that facilitate the development of
computational skills. In addition, an extensive bibliography
provides additional resources on the topic.
"Introduction to Real Analysis: An Educational Approach" is an
ideal book for upper- undergraduate and graduate-level real
analysis courses in the areas of mathematics and education. It is
also a valuable reference for educators in the field of applied
mathematics.
