Real Analysis and Infinity presents the essential topics for a first course in real analysis with an emphasis on the role of infinity in all of the fundamental concepts. After introducing sequences of numbers, it develops the set of real numbers in terms of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers, and uses this development to derive the important properties of real numbers like completeness. The book then develops the concepts of continuity, derivative, and integral, and presents the theory of infinite sequences and series of functions. Topics discussed are wide-ranging and include the convergence of sequences, definition of limits and continuity via converging sequences, and the development of derivative. The proofs of the vast majority of theorems are presented and pedagogical considerations are given priority to help cement the reader's knowledge. Preliminary discussion of each major topic is supplemented with examples and diagrams, and historical asides. Examples follow most major results to improve comprehension, and exercises at the end of each chapter help with the refinement of proof and calculation skills.

Reviews for Real Analysis and Infinity

Real Analysis and Infinity presents the essential topics for a first course in real analysis with an emphasis on the role of infinity in all of the fundamental concepts. * MathSciNet * This is a thorough introduction to the subject for undergraduates. There are very few prerequisites (less than in most similar textbooks) because topics such as infinity, countable and uncountable sets, and even the principle of mathematical induction are discussed in an early chapter. [...] The main advantage this book offers is its reader-friendly style. * Miklós Bóna, University of Florida, Department of Mathematics * Real Analysis and Infinity presents the essential topics for a first course in real analysis with an emphasis on the role of infinity in all of the fundamental concepts. * zb Math Open * This attractively produced book covers all of the topics one would expect to find in an introductory text on real analysis. Thus a short scene-setting chapter is followed by a background chapter on sets, functions, logic and countability and then six long chapters on sequences and limits, the real numbers (constructed in detail using Q-Cauchy sequences), infinite series, differentiation and continuity (in that order), Riemann integration (using the Darboux formulation) and infinite series of functions. * Nick Lord, Mathematical Gazette *
