Introductory Analysis, Second Edition, is intended for the standard course on calculus limit theories that is taken after a problem solving first course in calculus (most often by junior/senior mathematics majors). Topics studied include sequences, function limits, derivatives, integrals, series, metric spaces, and calculus in n-dimensional Euclidean space
- Bases most of the various limit concepts on sequential limits, which is done first
- Defines function limits by first developing the notion of continuity (with a sequential limit characterization)
- Contains a thorough development of the Riemann integral, improper integrals (including sections on the gamma function and the Laplace transform), and the Stieltjes integral
- Presents general metric space topology in juxtaposition with Euclidean spaces to ease the transition from the concrete setting to the abstract
New to This Edition
- Contains new Exercises throughout
- Provides a simple definition of subsequence
- Contains more information on function limits and L'Hospital's Rule
- Provides clearer proofs about rational numbers and the integrals of Riemann and Stieltjes
- Presents an appendix lists all mathematicians named in the text
- Gives a glossary of symbols
Researchers, professionals, the general public, and librarians who want to expand or enhance their knowledge of calculus limit theories
