Synopsis

This text is intended for an honors calculus course or for an introduction to analysis. Involving rigorous analysis, computational dexterity, and a breadth of applications, it is ideal for undergraduate majors. The book contains many remarkable features: * complete avoidance of /epsilon-/delta arguments by instead using sequences * definition of the integral as the area under the graph, while area is defined for EVERY subset of the plane * complete avoidance of complex numbers * heavy emphasis on computational problems * applications from many parts of analysis, e.g. convex conjugates, Cantor set, continued fractions, Bessel functions, the zeta functions, and many more * 344 problems with solutions in the back of the book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This text is intended for an honors calculus course or for an introduction to  analysis. Involving rigorous analysis, computational dexterity, and a breadth of  applications, it is ideal for undergraduate majors. This third edition includes  corrections as well as some additional material. Some features of the text include: The text is completely self-contained and starts with the real number  axioms; The integral is defined as the area under the graph, while the area is  defined for every subset of the plane; There is a heavy emphasis on computational problems, from the high-school  quadratic formula to the formula for the derivative of the zeta function at  zero; There are applications from many parts of analysis, e.g., convexity, the  Cantor set, continued fractions, the AGM, the theta and zeta functions,  transcendental numbers, the Bessel and gamma functions, and many more; Traditionally transcendentally presented material, such as infinite  products, the Bernoulli series, and the zeta functional equation, is developed  over the reals; and There are 385 problems with all the solutions at the back of the text.

Revue de presse

"This is a very intriguing, decidedly unusual, and very satisfying treatment of calculus and introductory analysis. It's full of quirky little approaches to standard topics that make one wonder over and over again, 'Why is it never done like this?'" --John Allen Paulos, author of Innumeracy and A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper
