This self-contained work introduces the main ideas and fundamental
methods of analysis at the advanced undergraduate/graduate level. It
provides the historical context out of which these concepts emerged, and
aims to develop connections between analysis and other mathematical
disciplines (e.g., topology and geometry) as well as physics and
engineering. A rigorous exposition, numerous examples, beautiful
illustrations, good problems, comprehensive bibliography, and index are
some of the key features of the book. Excellent for self -study or the
classroom.
