Download or read book Understanding Analysis written by Stephen Abbott and published by KBookstore. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elementary presentation exposes readers to both the process of rigor and the rewards inherent in taking an axiomatic approach to the study of functions of a real variable. The aim is to challenge and improve mathematical intuition rather than to verify it. The philosophy of this book is to focus attention on questions which give analysis its inherent fascination. Each chapter begins with the discussion of some motivating examples and concludes with a series of questions.
