Analysis

Significantly revised and expanded, this second edition provides readers at all levels - from beginning students to practising analysts - with the basic concepts and standard tools necessary to solve problems of analysis, and how to apply these concepts to research in a variety of areas. The authors quickly move from basic topics, to methods that work successfully in mathematics and its applications. While omitting many usual typical textbook topics, this volume includes all necessary definitions, proofs, explanations, examples, and exercises to bring the reader to an advanced level of understanding with a minimum of fuss, and, at the same time, doing so in a rigorous and pedagogical way. Many topics that are useful and important, but usually left to advanced monographs, are presented, and these should give the beginner a sense that the subject is alive and growing.
