Elementary Analysis

For three decades, this classic has been a must-have textbook for transitional courses from calculus to analysis, celebrated for its clear style and simple proofs. This edition adds material on the irrationality of pi, the Baire category theorem and more.

For over three decades, this best-selling classic has been used by thousands of students in the United States and abroad as a must-have textbook for a transitional course from calculus to analysis. It has proven to be very useful for mathematics majors who have no previous experience with rigorous proofs. Its friendly style unlocks the mystery of writing proofs, while carefully examining the theoretical basis for calculus. Proofs are given in full, and the large number of well-chosen examples and exercises range from routine to challenging.

The second edition preserves the book's clear and concise style, illuminating discussions, and simple, well-motivated proofs. New topics include material on the irrationality of pi, the Baire category theorem, Newton's method and the secant method, and continuous nowhere-differentiable functions.

Revised and updated second edition with new material Text for a transition course between calculus and more advanced analysis courses Contains new material on topics such as irrationality of pi, the Baire category theorem, Newton's method and the secant method, and continuous nowhere-differentiable functions Includes new examples and improved proofs Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
