Real Analysis

With Proof Strategies

by Daniel W. Cunningham ...

Series series Textbooks in Mathematics
Typically, undergraduates see real analysis as one of the most diﬃcult courses that a mathematics major is required to take. The main reason for this perception is twofold: Students must comprehend new abstract concepts and learn to deal with these concepts on a level of rigor and proof not previously encountered. A key challenge for an instructor of real analysis is to ﬁnd a way to bridge the gap ... Read more
