About this title

Synopsis

Provides a bridge from sophomore calculus to graduate courses which use analytic ideas such as real and complex analysis, partial and ordinary differential equations, numerical analysis, fluid mechanics, and differential geometry. Early chapters introduce central ideas of analysis in a one-dimensional setting, and later chapters cover multidimensional theory. Enrichment material is provided in separate sections, and also embedded in core material sections, where it is marked with an asterisk. Includes exercises, hints, and answers. For mathematics, science, and engineering majors. The author teaches at the University of Tennessee. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Back Cover

User-friendly--yet rigorous--in approach, this introduction to analysis meets readers where they are by providing extra support for those who like a slower, less detailed approach, but not getting in the way of those who want a quicker pace and deeper focus. It uses analogy and geometry to motivate and explain the theory, and precedes many complicated proofs with a "Strategy" which motivates the proof, shows why it was chosen, and why it should work. Examples follow many theorems, showing why each hypothesis is needed, allowing readers to remember the hypotheses by recalling the examples. Proofs are presented in complete detail, with each step carefully documented, and proofs are linked together in a way that teaches readers to think ahead. Physical interpretations are used to examine some concepts from a second or third point of view. Includes over 200 worked examples and over 600 exercises. Provides extensive coverage of multidimensional analysis.
