Overview

Part of the International Series in Mathematics

Ideal for the one-semester undergraduate course, Basic Real Analysis is intended for students who have recently completed a traditional calculus course and proves the basic theorems of Single Variable Calculus in a simple and accessible manner.  It gradually builds upon key material as to not overwhelm students beginning the course and becomes more rigorous as they progresses.  Optional appendices on sets and functions, countable and uncountable sets, and point set topology are included for those instructors who wish include these topics in their course.  The author includes hints throughout the text to help students solve challenging problems.  An online instructor's solutions manual is also available. 

ShowKey Features

Provides the appropriate level of content for the one-term course that is student friendly and accessible.

Paced at a level appropriate for a diverse group of learners.

Ideal as a supplement to a standard calculus sequence for instructors who would like to add more rigor to their course.

Appendices cover material on (a.) sets and functions, (b.) countable and uncountable sets, and (c.) point set topology.
