Real Analysis

A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook (The Long-Form Math Textbook Series)

Jay Cummings

Discover an engaging textbook designed for students covering the exciting subject of Real Analysis. Unlike most textbooks that follow a definition-theorem-proof pattern, this book includes plentiful commentary, motivation, and explanation. With dozens of proofs preceded by a "scratch work" section, students can build a big-picture view and an understanding of the method. The narrative is driven by examples challenging the intuition of the reader and peppered with interesting historical notes, humor, and diversions into other fascinating mathematical areas. With over 200 illustrations, the ideas come to life, including coverage of real numbers, cardinality, series, topology, differentiation, integration and more. Each chapter ends with exercises, including some open questions to encourage independent thinking. With accessible hints and solutions on LongFormMath.com and a mission to change the overpriced textbook market, this unique text is perfect for students seeking a comprehensive understanding of Real Analysis.
