This book is designed for a first course in real analysis following the standard course in elementary calculus. The book contains a full treatment (with many illustrative samples and exercises) of the standard topics in infinite metric spaces, and vector field theory. This new edition includes an assortment of new exercises and provides answers for the od-numbered problems.

Zusammenfassung
Many changes have been made in this second edition of A First Course in Real Analysis. The most noticeable is the addition of many problems and the inclusion of answers to most of the odd-numbered exercises.
