This text provides an introduction to analysis of real-valued functions of one variable. The author has deliberately paced this text more slowly and paid particular attention to the presentation of examples as ways of easing the student's transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Kirkwood's direct, though less-formal, writing style helps make concepts accessible. He presents material in such a way that students can develop an intuition for the subject while acquiring experience in constructing proofs.

Review:

"This is a well-written book on analysis with enough exercises. The best feature is that the exercises are all meaningful and illuminating. A great book!" --Senhuei Chen, Howard University

"I really like the organization of this book. The structure seems to allow for varying amounts of depth depending on the strength of the particular class. The homework assignments seem sufficiently stratified. There are some reasonably easy problems and some reasonably difficult ones." --Trey Smith, Angelo State University
