From Calculus to Analysis

by Rinaldo B. Schinazi

Overview

This comprehensive textbook is intended for a two-semester sequence in analysis. The first four chapters present a practical introduction to analysis by using the tools and concepts of calculus. The last five chapters present a first course in analysis. The presentation is clear and concise, allowing students to master the calculus tools that are crucial in understanding analysis.

From Calculus to Analysis prepares readers for their first analysis course—important because many undergraduate programs traditionally require such a course. Undergraduates and some advanced high-school seniors will find this text a useful and pleasant experience in the classroom or as a self-study guide. The only prerequisite is a standard calculus course.

Editorial Reviews

The goal of this very readable text which is accompanied by a wealth of exercises is to advance the students technical experience, in particular in estimating algebraic expressions, and at the same time to enhance their mathematical culture.” (R. Steinbauer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, 2016)
