Testo aggiuntivo
This attractively produced book covers all of the topics one would expect to find in an introductory text on real analysis. Thus a short scene-setting chapter is followed by a background chapter on sets, functions, logic and countability and then six long chapters on sequences and limits, the real numbers (constructed in detail using Q-Cauchy sequences), infinite series, differentiation and continuity (in that order), Riemann integration (using the Darboux formulation) and infinite series of functions.
